Member of the Legislative Council

A Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) is an elected representative who participates in the legislative process of a region or country with a bicameral (two-chamber) system. They review, amend, and approve laws proposed by the lower house. MLCs often represent specific constituencies or sectors, offering expertise and oversight. Their role ensures diverse perspectives in law-making, balancing executive power and protecting public interests. Depending on the jurisdiction, MLCs may be elected by the public or appointed, serving terms that allow ongoing input into governance and policy development.
