2021 Turkmen parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Turkmenistan on 28 March 2021 to elect members of the Assembly.[1]

Electoral system

Following constitutional amendments approved in 2020, the unicameral 125-seat Assembly was replaced by bicameral National Council with the Assembly becoming the lower house and the 56-seat People's Council (Halk Maslahaty) becoming the upper house, with 48 members elected by regional councils and eight appointed by the President.[2][3] The 125 members of the Assembly are elected by first-past-the-post voting from single-member constituencies.
