The Jesuit General Congregation - Those who elect the Superior General

Succession

Superiors General are elected by the General Congregation of the Society, summoned upon the resignation, retirement or death of an incumbent. Superiors General are elected for life, and almost all have served life terms, the exception being Father Pedro Arrupe who resigned for reasons of failing health. The current Superior General of the Society is Father Peter Hans Kolvenbach. In February 2006 he announced his resignation and convoked a new General Congregation, to convene in January 2008, which will elect his successor.

http://www.halfvalue.com/wiki.jsp?topic=Superior_General_of_the_Society_of_Jesus

The chief authority is vested in the general congregation, which elects the general, and could, for certain grave causes, depose him. This body could also (although there has never yet been an occasion for so doing) add new Constitutions and abrogate old ones. Usually this congregation is convened on the occasion of the death of a general, in order to elect a successor, and to make provisions for the government and welfare of the Society. It may also be called at other times for grave reasons. It consists of the general, when alive, and his assistants, the provincials, and two deputies from each province or territorial division of the societyelected by the superiors and older professed members.

Thus authority in the Society eventually rests on a democratic basis. But as there is no definite time for calling the general congregation — which in fact rarely occurs except to elect a new general — the exercise of authority is usually in the hands of the general, in whom is vested the fullness of administrative power, and of spiritual authority. He can do anything within the scope of the Constitutions, and can even dispense with them forgood causes, though he cannot change them. He resides at Rome, and has a council of assistants, five in number at present, one each for Italy, France, Spain, and the countries of Spanish origin, one for Germany, Austria, Poland, Belgium, Hungary, Holland, and one for English-speaking countries — England, Ireland, United States, Canada, and British colonies (except India). These usually hold office until the death of the general. Should the general through age or infirmity become incapacitated for governing the Society, a vicar is chosen by a general congregation to act for him. At his death he names one so to act until the congregation can meet and elect his successor.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14081a.htm

Between the Provincials, who sit on it by virtue of their office, and elected delegates from the provinces, the total membership of a modern GC numbers around 200.

Jesuit Assistancies

There are roughly 20,000 Jesuits currently serving on six continents and in 127 nations. Jesuits around the world are organized into 91 Provinces. The Provinces are grouped into 11 regional "assistancies."

http://www.jesuits-chi.org/about/what_is_a_province.htm

Jesuit communities and their works are grouped together to form a province. These provinces are further grouped together to form an assistancy. The Society of Jesus is thus structured into 10 different assistancies.
