General elections were held in Oman on 29 October 2023.[1][2][3]
The 90 members of the Consultative Assembly were elected from a mix of one- and two-member constituencies based on the 61 provinces; provinces with a population of under 30,000 elected one member while those with a population of over 30,000 elected two.[4] Political parties were banned, meaning all candidates ran on a non-partisan basis. The elections were fully digitized.
The Consultative Assembly has some legislative and oversight powers. It has to approve or amend draft laws within a maximum of three months from the date of referral. Then it is referred to the State Council which has to approve or amend it. If the two chambers disagree, they take vote to resolve the difference. However, if any bill passes both chambers, it must be approved and signed by the Sultan to become a law. The Assembly has also the exclusive power of interpellation to any of the services ministers.[5]
