The Grand National Assembly of the Confederacy of Walneria (Walnerian: Volkomaine Nacionálfŕzamlunk tes Rósberisses Aidgenosënssaftes) is the constitutional assembly of the Confederacy of Walneria. It is the only organ, which is allowed to remove, edit or amend parts of sections 1 and 9 of the Constitution of Walneria. The regular National Assembly has the right to call for a referendum, which serves a similar function like the Grand National Assembly.

Elections

Direct elections

The Grand National Assembly is elected in one of every five parliamentary elections. That means, that every fifth convocation of the National Assembly starts with the assembling of the Grand National Assembly. Unlike the regular national assembly, which is elected in 6 multi-member constituencies, Grand National Assembly, utilizes Scorporo.

Outside of the regular distribution of 200 seats through the Imperiali quota in regions and Hare quota in autonomies respectively (the number of reserved seats for each autonomy has been increased to 10), the remaining 50 seats are elected in single-member constituencies through the approval voting.

Indirect elections

After the meeting of the Grand National Assembly concludes and at least ³/₄ of the members agree, that the constitutional needs have been satisfied, the 130 most successful candidates (those with the most prefferential votes) continue as the regular members of the newly established National Assembly, no new elections are held (so the outcome is the same as if there were only 130 seats to be elected instead of the 200 elected through proportional representation).

Members elected in single-member constituencies, as well as those who did not succeed in getting into the National Assembly are given seats in their regional assemblies (the increase is usually between 2 and 4 members in each respective region). As the multi-member constituencies span more than a single region, the membership in local assembly is decided through a permanent residency of the member in question. Out-of-region candidates for autonomies are still granted seat in the autonomous legislature no matter the actual residency.
