Background
The Communist Party of Vietnam rules Vietnam as a one-party state and as such is the only party that can contest the elections. In the 2016 elections the party won 475 of the 496 seats, with the rest going to independent members of the government-aligned Vietnamese Fatherland Front.
Electoral system
The members of the National Assembly were elected from 184 multi-member constituencies using the two-round system, with a maximum number of 500 candidates to be elected. Block voting was used, with each district having two or three seats.[2] Candidates had to receive at least 50% of the vote in the first round to be elected, with a second round held on a plurality basis.[3]
