The Meshrano Jirga ( House of Elders ) consists of 102 members.
One-third of the members were appointed by the president, while another third was elected by the provincial councils.
Elections for the provincial councils were held simultaneously with those for the Wolesi Jirga.
The remaining third is supposed to be elected by district councils.
However, elections for the district councils have been postponed, meaning that one-third of the seats in the Meshrano Jirga will be vacant when it assembles.
Despite Taliban and other anti-government forces stating they intended to disrupt the elections, the polling day went by with minimal violence.
