Executive: Federal Parliament: Judiciary: The Provincial Assembly (Nepali: प्रदेश सभा; Pradesh Sabha) is the unicameral legislative assembly for a federal province of Nepal.
The term for the Provincial Assembly is five years, except when dissolved earlier.
Candidates for each constituency are chosen by the political parties or stand as independents.
Since Nepal uses a parallel voting system, voters cast another ballot to elect members through the party-list proportional representation.
The first provincial assembly elections in Nepal were held in two phases, on 26 November 2017 and on 7 December 2017.
