The National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus is the bicameral parliament that governs the Eastern Europe country of Belarus. The two chambers that make up the National Assembly are the following:

• Council of the Republic- The upper chamber
• House of Representatives- The lower chamber

While each chamber has specific duties they have been charged to enforce, both chambers have the ability to veto local laws that deviate from the Constitution of Belarus.

The chambers of the National Assembly are convened to two regular sessions every year: the first session opens October 2 and its duration cannot be more than 80 days; the second session opens April 2 and does not last more than 90 days.
