| Supreme People's Assembly | | | The Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) is the unicameral parliament of North Korea (DPRK). It consists of one deputy from each of 687 constituencies, elected to five-year terms. Choi Tae-bok is the Chairman of the SPA, and Yang Hyung-sup and Kim Young-dae are the Vice-Chairmen.[1] Although the SPA is North Korea's primary legislative body, it ordinarily delegates authority to the smaller Presidium chosen from among its members. The Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly is the most powerful body in the SPA and exercises legislative power when the SPA is in recess, which occurs during all but a few days of every year. Kim Yong Nam is the current President of the Presidium.[1] Jamo redirects here. ...

view • talk • edit | The 687 SPA deputies are ostensibly elected by secret ballot of citizens 17 years of age and older to serve five year terms. All citizens 17 and older, regardless of party affiliation, political views, or religion are constitutionally eligible to be elected to the SPA and vote in elections [2]. These elections are not democratic by international standards, as voters are presented with only a single candidate for each office. All candidates are selected by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, an unelected party organization under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea. Elections were last held on August 3, 2003, and will be held again in 2008. Kim Yong Nam currently serves as President of the Assembly and thus also as the head of the Presidum.
