The Nuiqsut Confederation Parliament is a bicameral legislature in The Nuiqsut Confederation. The Parliament consists of two bodies known as the Aittuik Assembly with 114 Deputies and the Chamber of Executives with 34 Regional Executives. Each deputy of the Attuik Assembly is elected in 114 separate constituencies, with elections occurring either when parliament is dissolved or at least every 5 years. In the Chamber of Executives, Executives are elected by a popular vote of citizens and each represents one of 34 sub-regions or wards in the case of Port Nuiqust. Executives can be recalled at any point although an election must be held once every 4 years during an election window of October to December.
