The House of Representatives (Majlis al-Nuwaab) is the legislature of Yemen. The Assembly has 301 members, elected for a six-year term in single-seat constituencies.

In February 2015, the Houthis briefly dissolved parliament before reportedly agreeing to reinstate the 301-member assembly in UN-brokered talks. Under the agreement, it will be augmented by a "people's transitional council" serving as the upper house.
