Legislative Assembly Of PanamaThe Legislative Assembly (Spanish: Asamblea Legislativa) is the legislative branch of the government of the Republic of Panama. It is a unicameral legislature, currently made up of 78 members, who serve five-year terms. Legislators from outlying rural districts are chosen on a plurality basis, while districts located in more populous towns and cities elect multiple legislators by means of a proportion-based formula. Panama's legislative elections are held in parallel to its presidential elections. The most recent were the 1999 election and the 2004 election. (Panama also returns a delegation of 20 deputies to the supranational Central American Parliament.)
