The Chancellor's Podium was a platform situated at the heart of the Galactic Senate Chamber within the Galactic Senate Building. It rose from the Chancellor's working office located directly underneath.
Standing at a height of 30 meters, the Chancellor's podium served to project power and command over the Senate. When the Senate was not in session, it would descend into the Chancellor's working office situated below. Additionally, the podium was equipped with a data display that provided translations of various languages and presented voting outcomes to the Supreme Chancellor.
The Supreme Chancellor would stand at the summit of the podium to speak to the senate, accompanied by their administrative aide and the Vice Chair. Slightly lower down, other important figures were seated, including the Sergeant-at-Arms, who oversaw the senate's staff and messenger droids, the Journal Clerk, the Official Reporter who documented the senate's discussions, and a parliamentarian who advised the chancellor on matters of senatorial protocol.
During the initial years of the Imperial Era, the podium underwent a transformation, substituting the senate emblem with the Imperial crest.
