ThePyithu Hluttaw (Burmese:ပြည်သူ့လွှတ်တော်,pronounced[pjìðṵl̥ʊʔtɔ̀];lit. 'People's Assembly') is one of thede jure houses of thePyidaungsu Hluttaw, thebicamerallegislature ofMyanmar (Burma). It consists of 440 members, of which 330 are directly elected through thefirst-past-the-post system in eachtownships (the third-leveladministrative divisions of Myanmar), and 110 are appointed by theMyanmar Armed Forces, under a constitutional provision that has no parallel in the world. There is no upper house and lower house in Pyidaungsu Hluttaw as both Pyithu Hluttaw andAmyotha Hluttaw enjoy equal status as per the constitution.[2]
