It is a unicameral parliamentary body consisting of thirty councillors chosen during regional elections for a five-year term. The current chairperson of the assembly is Ryszard Bober.[1]

The assembly elects the executive board that acts as the collective executive for the regional government, headed by the voivodeship marshal. The current Executive Board of Silesia is a coalition government between the Civic Coalition, Polish People's Party and Democratic Left Alliance. The board's current chief executive is Marshal Piotr Całbecki of Civic Coalition.[2]
