While Stepan would include legislatures and electoral systems under the heading of 'political society', I would prefer to see them as part of the institutional patterning of the state. For further discussion of the idea of 'political society', see

Just as political society mediates the relationship between civil society and the state, so the institutional patterning of the state (such as the distribution of power between its institutional segments, or the nature of the electoral system) structures the pattern of interaction between civil society and the state.
