The Galactic Congress, made up of individuals from each member world known as Galactic Senators, is the chief legislative body of the Galactic Alliance. Senators are the ambassadors of their home worlds and member worlds are able to maintain their government and society in accordance with local beliefs, customs and traditions. There is a wide variety of different local governments along the political spectrum varying from monarchies to republics to hive-like communes. In some systems, the senator is elected to that post. On others, the world government appoints the senator.

The Galactic Congress is headquartered on Coruscant in the Galactic Congress Building (formerly called the Galactic Senate Building). Each platform in the Congress represents a sector of the galaxy, with one senator from each planet in that sector. Some platforms represent individual worlds as well. Along with the senators, the leaders of the individual member planets also have the power to vote in the Congress and introduce legislation were they available to do so. The Congress follows such parliamentary rules as a Vote of No Confidence.

Senators receive one vote in all matters, both procedural and substantive. The Chief of State is elected from within the Congress and serves as the Chairman of Congress as well as the executive leader of the Alliance and the Commander in Chief of the military. The assembly is in turn divided into individual committees, each specializing in specific fields of governmental administration which are responsible for creating legislation to be reviewed by the full assembly.

Although legislation passed by the Congress is binding to all member worlds, most of the everyday legislation followed by citizens of the Alliance is created at the planetary, sectorial or regional level. Therefore, the main functions of the Congress are to meditate disputes between members, provide for the common defense, and regulate inter-system trade.
