National Assembly 176 seats · 5-year term · direct election by parallel voting; single-member and multi-member constituencies with two-round majority/plurality rules in some districts

The president is directly elected for a five-year term and may be re-elected once. Mauritania’s parliament is unicameral: the Senate was abolished, so the National Assembly is the only nationally elected legislature.
