The Assembly normally meets twice a year, on the first Monday in October for no more than 75 days and the first Monday in April for no more than 90 days.[1] The Prime Minister or a majority of the members can call an extra session.[1] If the session is held at the instigation of Assembly members, it must not exceed 15 days.[1]
Thirteen of the 147 (8.8%) elected members are women, one less than the previous Assembly.[2][3] On 12 November 2015, the National Assembly adopted a law requiring that at least 30% of elected or appointed officials must be women.[3]
A 2009 amendment to the Malian Family Code which would have given women more rights was met by huge demonstrations by Muslims demanding it not be signed, following which President Toure sent the bill back to the parliament.[6]
