Notes
- ↑ The 1st National Assembly of the Novella Islands was not elected; instead, all members of the House of Representatives of the dissolved Federal Parliament of the Novella Islands retained their seat in the Novella Islands 2024 National Assembly Extraordinary Appointment, serving the remainder of the term they were elected for in the former legislature.
- ↑ a b c d e f This name in its English transliteration is presented in the Western order, with the given name first. Native names in Hanafleuran are presented with the family name first.
- ↑ The position of the Solicitor-General, unlike that of the Attorney-General, is held by a member of the civil service; invariably, the role is held by a highly experienced lawyer or legal academic, with decades of experience in the legal matters of state. The minister overseeing the role is the Attorney-General.
- ↑ The non-aligned Civil Service Union of the Novella Islands provides confidence and supply to the government on the floor of the National Assembly, including support on select government initiatives, in exchange for two ministerial portfolios (Administrative Affairs, and Finance and the Treasury).
