2018 Mauritanian parliamentary election

[2] As a result of the election, Union for Republic (UPR) remained the single largest party at the national level both in terms of popular vote and seats.

In two-seat constituencies, voters vote for a party list (which must contain one man and one woman); if no list receives more than 50% of the vote in the first round, a second round is held, with the winning party taking both seats.

[3] For three-seat constituencies, party lists must include a female candidate in first or second on the list; for larger constituencies a zipper system is used, with alternate male and female candidates.

Some of the dissolved parties include the first party founded after the establishment of multi-party politics, the Rally of Democracy and Unity, and the Movement of Reformation led by Kane Hamidou Baba.

[4] The election of the President of the National Assembly took place on 8 October 2018, a week after its original scheduled date.
