The National Assembly consists of 76 members. Members are elected by popular vote for legislative terms of four years from the country's twelve constituencies. Except for the constituency for Andorinhean living abroad, which is fixed a two members, the number of voters registered in a constituency determines the number of its members in the assembly, using the [[D'Hondt method]] of [[proportional representation]]. |

According to the [[Constitution of the Andorinhões|Constitution]], Deputies represent the entire country, not the constituency from which they are elected. This directive has been reinforced in practice by the strong role of political parties in regard to Deputies. This shaped the electoral law to state that the seats belong to the political parties and not individual members. As such, Deputies are expected to vote with their party and to work within parliamentary groups based on party membership. Party discipline is thus strongly enforced and insubordinate Deputies are more than likely to lose their seats. |

Andorinhões |
The unicameral National Assembly (Marabillese: Assembleia Nacional) is the legislative body of the Constitutional State of the Andorinhões. It is the direct successor of the General Assembly of the People and the Parliament of Martlet.
History
The first legislative body to have existed in the Andorinhões are the Estates General called approximately every 6 years by the Order of the Holy Cross. The meetings were mostly used to elect the people on the Sovereign Council and the Chancellor of the Sovereign Land. Thus, there is debate on its official status as a legislative body.
The first official legislative body came at the end of the Lúpulo Revolution with the proclamation of the Martletan Republic. The Parliament of Martlet was a bicameral legislature with the Legislative Assembly being elected and the nominated Legislative Council. The Parliament was established in Colheitas.
The Silent Revolution brought the introduction of socialism principles in the Andorinhões and the proclamation of the Socialist Republic of the Martlets Islands. The biggest change was the abolition of the upper house and the decision to move the legislative body from Colheitas to São João. For these reasons a new building was commissioned and was inaugurated in 1972. It operated for a year before it was renamed the General Assembly of the People.
The coup d'État by Octávio Forte proclaimed the People's Republic of the Andorinhas and elections were abolished. The General Assembly of the People remained but as a nominated institution.
With the reintroduction of democracy in 1991, a new Constitution was drafted which settled on the name National Assembly (Assembleia Nacional) and introduced the actual legislative body.
Structure
The National Assembly consists of 76 members. Members are elected by popular vote for legislative terms of four years from the country's twelve constituencies. Except for the constituency for Andorinhean living abroad, which is fixed a two members, the number of voters registered in a constituency determines the number of its members in the assembly, using the D'Hondt method of proportional representation.
Constituencies
The Andorinhões has twelve constituencies for the National Assembly, 11 are in the Andorinhões and the other is abroad.

Deputies
According to the Constitution, Deputies represent the entire country, not the constituency from which they are elected. This directive has been reinforced in practice by the strong role of political parties in regard to Deputies. This shaped the electoral law to state that the seats belong to the political parties and not individual members. As such, Deputies are expected to vote with their party and to work within parliamentary groups based on party membership. Party discipline is thus strongly enforced and insubordinate Deputies are more than likely to lose their seats.
Speaker of the National Assembly
The Speaker of the National Assembly is the second highest elected post, after the Governor, and is elected by secret vote of the Deputies. The Speaker of the National Assembly is aided by three Deputy Speakers, nominated by the other parties represented in the National Assembly. When the Speaker is not present, one of the Deputy Speakers takes the role of speaker.
