== The current National Assembly ==
The current National Assembly, formed following [[2024 Senegalese parliamentary election|elections in November 2024]], comprises 165 elected members who serve five-year terms.  The electoral system is a mixed member majoritarian (MMM) system; 90 deputies are elected in 35 single and multi-member districts (departments) by simple majority (plurality) party block vote (PBV, winning party list takes all seats in the district) and 60 seats are filled proportionally based on the national distribution of votes. There are also 15 seats for overseas voters. Voters have a single ballot and vote for the party list.  This single ballot is applied to both the majoritarian and proportional vote counts.
