Zimbabwe

National Assembly

Specific Elections: 2005 – 2008 – 2013 – 2018

Background

Zimbabwe has a unicameral National Assembly, an assembly of 210 members.

The boundaries of the Assembly electoral divisions are determined by the national electoral commission.

Terms of the Assembly are nominally fixed at five years. However there remains a capacity for the President to dissolve the Assembly early and call an election.

All the members of the National Assembly are directly elected in single member divisions by the plurality voting method.
