Delegates of the National Assembly of Vietnam are directly elected from population for a five-year term. The National Assembly of Vietnam is unicameral, therefore the number of delegates in an area depends on the population of that area. Currently there are 500 delegates of the National Assembly.

Electoral divisions[]

Vietnam is a unitary state with 58 provinces and 5 municipalities or centrally-controlled cities. Each province (tỉnh) and municipality (thành phố trực thuộc trung ương) is subdivided into electoral units (đơn vị bầu cử). The number of electoral divisions in each province and municipality depends on the population of that province and municipality. Normally an electoral unit within a province or municipality covers about 2 to 6 district-level subdivisions (đơn vị hành chính cấp huyện; which could be rural districts (huyện), urban districts (quận), provincial cities (thành phố thuộc tỉnh) or towns (thị xã)).

Each electoral unit is further subdivided into voting zones (khu vực bỏ phiếu). Two or three delegates would be elected from each electoral unit.

Since 2011 there are 183 electoral units and 89,960 voting zones.
