Subnational legislatures of Malaysia
A
state legislative assembly
(
Malay
:
Dewan Undangan Negeri
,
DUN
; also known simply as
state assembly
) is the legislative branch of the
state governments
in each of the 13
Malaysian states
. Members of a state legislative assembly comprises elected representatives from single-member
constituencies
during state elections through the
first-past-the-post
system.
The assemblies have powers to enact state laws as provided for by the
Constitution of Malaysia
. The majority party in each assembly forms the state government, and the leader of the majority party becomes
Menteri Besar
(for states with hereditary rulers) or
Chief Minister
(for states without hereditary rulers) of the state.
The state legislative assemblies are
unicameral
, unlike the
bicameral
Parliament of Malaysia
. The
hereditary rulers
or
Yang di-Pertua Negeri
(governors) are vested with powers to dissolve their respective state legislative assemblies on the advice of the menteri besar or chief minister. Once dissolved, elections must be carried out within an interim period of sixty (60) days. Prior to 2018, state elections are previously held simultaneously with the federal parliamentary elections, with the exception of
Sarawak
.
