Legislative elections were held in Vietnam on 23 May 2021 to elect members of the National Assembly, which would subsequently appoint the Prime Minister, and deputies of People's Councils.[1] The election took place on a Sunday in line with local legislation. Results were announced on 10 June.
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.
