The Bhutan National Assembly, the lower house of the bicameral Parliament of Bhutan, consists Members of Parliament (MPs). Each MP represents a single geographic constituency.[1] Currently, it has 47 constituencies.[2][3]
National Assembly constituencies are distributed among the dzongkhags[A] in proportion to their registered voter population as recommended by the Delimitation Commission, provided that "no Dzongkhag shall have less than two [or] more than seven National Assembly constituencies."[1] The National Assembly has had four elections, with the first one being in 2008 and the latest one ending in January 2024.
The constituency of Gelegphu (NA1301) has the highest number of registered voters (16,283), while the Khatoed Laya (NA0402) constituency has the lowest number of registered voters (966). Out of the 20 dzongkhags of Bhutan, Trashigang District, with five constituencies, has the highest number of National Assembly constituencies. Samtse District, with four constituencies, has the second highest number of National Assembly constituencies. Mongar and Pemagatshel Districts, with three constituencies each, share the third highest position. All of the other 16 dzongkhags have two constituencies each.
