The National Assembly of Yezd is the legislative body governing the Atabegate of Yezd, comprising a total of 8 seats. These seats are democratically filled through elections conducted across the three distinct regions of Yezd, Oznura Wahir and Mashiz. The fundamental responsibilities and powers of the National Assembly are defined by the Instrument of Government, while the intricacies of its internal functioning are further elaborated in the National Assembly Act.
The National Assembly plays a pivotal role in shaping the governance and legislative framework of the Atabegate of Yezd, serving as a forum where elected representatives deliberate on matters of significance to the populace. Through its adherence to constitutional principles and procedural guidelines, the National Assembly strives to uphold the democratic ideals and values integral to the governance structure of the Atabegate of Yezd.
A notable tradition within the National Assembly is the prohibition of swearing or the use of profanity. Any member found in violation of this decorum rule faces expulsion from the assembly. This practice traces its origins back to the Konraqi era, reflecting a longstanding commitment to maintaining a dignified and respectful atmosphere within the legislative proceedings.
