The next Northern Cypriot parliamentary election is scheduled for 2017 or 2018, and will elect the 50 members of the Assembly of the Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) for another five-year term.

The last election was held on 28 July 2013, and resulted in a victory for Özkan Yorgancıoğlu, after his Republican Turkish Party secured 38% of the vote and 21 seats. Their rivals in the National Unity Party fell to 27% of the vote and 14 seats. Two other parties – the Democratic Party and the Communal Democracy Party – managed to enter parliament with 23% and 7% of the vote respectively. Due to a 5% election threshold, the United Cyprus Party failed to win any seats, having won only 3% of the vote.

The current Prime Minister of Northern Cyprus is Hüseyin Özgürgün, who has served since 16 April 2016, and leads a coalition consisting of the National Unity Party and the Democratic Party.

The fifty members of the Assembly are elected by proportional representation in five multi-member constituencies with an electoral threshold of 5%. Voters can either vote for a party list or for individual candidates. If they chose the latter, they could cast as many votes as there were seats in a constituency.
