The Senate for the 23rd Cosa consisted of seven seats. It was the first Senate in Talossan history.
Elections
The Senate was a newly created chamber of the Ziu, and as such, all seven members of the Senate for the 23rd Cosa were newly elected or appointed.
The original Organic Law of 1997, which created the Senate, established that the method of determining Senators would be decided by a referendum in each province, with the voters in each province choosing between whether the province would hold elections or have its Senator appointed by the government. According to Ár Päts (on the final page of the 1998 version), after the July 1997 referendum established the Organic Law, two of the provinces deadlocked on how to select Senators, and the Uppermost Court ordered those provinces to fill the seats by elections. However, the Secretary of State refused to implement the order of the court, on the grounds that Organic Law didn't allow such interference. Which of the two provinces were affected is not currently known.

Notes
1 At the time the Senate was established, Matthias Muth was early in his declared 99-year term as absolute dictator of Mussolini. Best information available indicates that the Constitution of that province provided for appointment of Senators by the government, rather than by election. Thus, no election would have been held for Senator from Mussolini in August 1997. Whether Senator Muth appointed himself before the first Clark (and thus lost his seat for inactivity and then reappointed himself to fill it), or whether he waited until sometime later to appoint himself for the first time is not known.
2 Senator Toumayan resigned his seat after the third Clark. It was filled by the appointment of Senator Gariçéir.
3 Senator Gallagher failed to vote in the second and third Clarks, vacating his seat. It was filled by the appointment of Senator Morris.
4 Senator Laurier resigned his seat after failing to vote in the fourth Clark. It was filled by the appointment of Senator Verbotten.
