Member State of the Arab League The Consultative Assembly (Arabic: مجلس الشورى; transcription: Majlis al-Shura) is the lower house of the Council of Oman.

The winning candidates are the ones who obtain the higher number of votes according to the official election results.

Before 1981, the Majlis al-Shura (Consultative Council) was a unicameral legislature of the Imamate of Oman until its dissolution in 1959.

As mentioned in the Basic Law of the State (de facto constitution), the Council of Oman has some legislative and oversight powers.

However, if any bill passes both chambers, it must be approved and signed by the Sultan to become a law.
