  • Pyithu Hluttaw 440 seats · 5-year term · Single-member and multi-member constituencies with first-past-the-post and reserved Defence Services seats
  • Amyotha Hluttaw 224 seats · 5-year term · Members elected from equal numbers of representatives from Regions and States, plus reserved Defence Services seats

Myanmar's national legislature has reserved Defence Services seats, so the elected totals are lower than the chamber totals. The President is chosen indirectly by the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw through presidential electoral colleges formed from its members.
