Supreme People's Assembly 687 seats · 5-year term · single-member constituencies, direct universal suffrage, secret ballot

The Supreme People's Assembly is the highest organ of state power, and it elects the head of state, premier, cabinet, and top courts rather than voters choosing most national executives directly. Citizens aged 17 and over have the right to vote and stand for election; the Assembly's Standing Committee organizes elections when the Assembly is not in session.
