The legislative branch of the Cuban government is the National Assembly of People's Power or Asemblea Nacional del Poder Popular. The National Assembly is based on population; there are 614 seats. Members are elected by special candidacy commissions to serve five-year terms. The last election was held in January 2008 (the next to be held in January 2013). Cuba's Communist Party is the only legal party, and officially sanctioned candidates run unopposed.
