Milli Majlis

What Milli Majlis does

Milli Majlis (Azərbaycan Respublikasının Milli Məclisi) is the unicameral national parliament of the Republic of Azerbaijan, headquartered in Baku. It comprises 125 deputies elected for five-year terms through a majoritarian system. The current 7th convocation was formed following elections on September 1, 2024, with representatives from 11 political parties — predominantly the New Azerbaijan Party — and 26 women deputies (~21% of the chamber).

The institution holds constitutionally exclusive authority to enact federal laws, approve the state budget, ratify international treaties, and exercise oversight over the Cabinet of Ministers, the Accounting Chamber, the Ombudsman, and the Anti-Corruption Coordinator. Its operational machinery is organized around 15 standing committees, 3 commissions (Disciplinary, Accounting, and Temporary Commission on Foreign Interference and Hybrid Threats), 1 initiative group (Return to Western Azerbaijan), and 103 inter-parliamentary friendship groups with foreign legislatures. Speaker Sahibə Qafarova additionally holds the presidency of the Non-Aligned Movement Parliamentary Network, the ECO Parliamentary Assembly, and the Parliamentary Union of OIC Member States.

Milli Majlis is a government state entity with no commercial revenue model; it is funded through state budget appropriations and operates a fixed salary structure for deputies benchmarked to the Speaker's monthly compensation. Its technology stack consists of an electronic voting system for open, roll-call, and secret parliamentary votes, a real-time video conferencing system enabling remote participation during epidemiological restrictions, and digital document management and archival systems. Public communication is conducted through the official website (meclis.gov.az, available in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English) and an official Twitter/X account (@Milli_Majlis).
