abstract
| - The Cuban legislative election to the National Assembly of People's Power was held in Cuba on January 19, 2006. This was the first elections since Fidel Castro had reformed the Cuban constitution to include free elections, freedom of speech and other democratic elements in favour of having the United States lifting the economic sanctions on Cuba. According to the new Cuban electoral system, a system of constituency based proportional representation as well as a system of allotment is indirectly prescribed in the constitution, ensuring a balanced distribution of the 614 seats. 460 members are elected by proportional majority in constituencies while the remaining 54 seats are allotted in proportion to the total number of votes a party or list receives. The election allowed the Communist Party to remain in power for a four-year term, with Felipe Pérez Roque serving as prime minister under President Fidel Castro.
