In 1976, Cubans voted in a referendum overwhelmingly to change their system from a US style bicameral system to the more globally used Parliamentary system.
Today, Cuba has three levels of government. The Municipal Assemblies, the Provincial Assemblies, and the National Assembly.
All members are duly elected in citizen run elections. Only the citizenry - no party - can select a slate of candidates for the multi candidate elections for every seat. The winner must face a Ratification election process wherein a vote of at least 50%+1 in order to take their seat in the assembly. Terms are 6 years. Bi-annual accountability public forums are held where any elected official can be subject to a vote of confidence. If that is no achieved by at least 50%+1, then a new election for that seat is to be held in 6 weeks.
