The People's National Assembly (Arabic: المجلس الشعبي الوطني, romanized: al-Majlis al-Sha'abi al-Watani; abbreviated APN) is the lower house of the Algerian Parliament. It is composed of 407 members directly elected by the population. Of the 407 seats, 8 are reserved for Algerians living abroad.[1] Members of the People's National Assembly are directly elected through proportional representation in multiple-member districts and serve terms lasting five years at a time. The last election for this body was held on 12 June 2021.[1] The minimum age for election to the Assembly is 28.[2]
There are 58 districts, corresponding to the wilayas (provinces), and an overseas constituency, which send representatives to this body. The current speaker of the APN is Ibrahim Boughali,[3] an independent member. The minimum age to vote in Algeria is 18 and voting is not compulsory.[4]
