Myanmar (also known as Burma) is divided into fifteen first-level administrative divisions, which include seven states (), seven regions (), and one union territory (). The regions were called divisions prior to August 2010.
Each State and Region has a State Hluttaw or Region Hluttaw made up of elected civilian members and unelected representatives of the Armed Forces. The Constitution of Myanmar grants the Myanmar Armed Forces' Commander-in-Chief the right to appoint military officials to one-third of parliamentary seats, while the remaining two-third seats are elected. The number of seats in each State or Region Hluttaw depends on the number of townships (each township constituency has 2 MPs), as well as ethnic representatives. The largest Hluttaws are the Shan State and Yangon Region Hluttaws, with 143 and 123 seats, respectively, while the smallest are the Kayah State and Kayin State Hluttaws, which have 20 and 22 seats, respectively.
The current Hlutttaws were elected in the 2025-2026 Myanmar general election and were first convened on 20 March 2026.
"Hluttaw" is a Burmese word that translates to "Assembly" or "Parliament".
