In 2015 it replaced both the Regional and General Councils of Martinique.

The Martinican assembly is made up of 51 members,[1] who are elected for six year terms.

If no list receives the absolute majority, a second round takes place: the list which comes first in the second round receives the premium of 11 seats and the remaining seats are allocated to all the lists having received at least 5% of the votes cast.

For the distribution of seats within each list, the territory of Martinique is divided into four electoral sections corresponding to the legislative constituencies.

Gran Sanblé pou ba peyi an chans, a coalition of the Martinican Independence Movement and right-wing parties, led by Alfred Marie-Jeanne, defeated Ensemble pour une Martinique Nouvelle [fr], a coalition of left-wing parties, led by Serge Letchimy, winning 33 out of 51 seats.
