The Rokthing (Hverlandic: Rokþíngi) is the national governing body of Hverland. It meets in the Guðbjörnsson Building located in central Breíddalsvík.
The Rokthing is unicameral, being composed of a 41-seat assembly. Members are elected via a nationwide party-list proportional system. Elections are held every four years, with the last election being held in 2014.
The Rokthing meets regularly between January and September for regular session, but a special session can be called in order to complete unfinished business or to continue negotiations on the government's budget for the following year.
