The National Assembly is the Volynian federal parliament. The National Assembly was established by the Constitution of the Second Republic in 1947.
The members of the National Assembly are representatives of the Volynian people as a whole, are not bound by any orders or instructions and are only accountable to their electorate. The minimum legal number of members of the National Assembly (Volynian: Mitglieder des National Assemblyes) is 600; however, due to the system of overhang and leveling seats the current National Assembly has a total of 800 members, making it the largest National Assembly to date.
The National Assembly is elected every five years by Volynian citizens aged 18 or over. Elections use a mixed-member proportional representation system which combines first-past-the-post elected seats with a proportional party list to ensure its composition mirrors the national popular vote.
The National Assembly has several functions. It is the chief legislative body on the federal level. The individual states (Voivodeships) of Volynia participate in legislative process through the Senate, a separate assembly. The National Assembly the government budget.
The National Assembly meets in Federal Assembly Hall building in Lutsk. The National Assembly also operates in multiple new government buildings in Lustsk and has its own police force (the National Assembly Police).
