The assembly meets automatically on the first day of October each year. It can take a maximum of 3 months of holiday per legislative year. Breaks in work cannot exceed 15 days at a time. The President of the Assembly and the President of the Republic can directly call an emergency meeting, while at least 120 deputies can call for such a meeting indirectly through the Speaker of the Assembly.

The Council consists of the Speaker, Deputy Speakers, Administrative Officers, and Clerk Members. Elections for the Council are held twice within a legislative term; the first term lasts 2 years, and the second spans the remainder of the term. Political parties cannot nominate candidates for the office of Speaker; individuals run independently. The Speaker's party affiliation remains, but they cannot engage in party activities or vote in any session.

The election is conducted by secret ballot in a maximum of four rounds. The first two rounds require a two-thirds majority (400 votes), the third requires an absolute majority (301 votes), and the final round pits the two leading candidates against each other, where a simple majority decides the winner. This procedure is also used for the Chief Ombudsman.

The assembly requires at least 200 members for a meeting quorum. The decision quorum is generally an absolute majority of those attending, but this can never be fewer than 151. A political party is formed by 30 citizens, but a parliamentary party group requires at least 20 deputies to be formally established.
