Magway Region Hluttaw (Burmese: မကွေးတိုင်းဒေသကြီးလွှတ်တော်; lit. 'Magway Region Assembly') is the legislature of Magway Region, Myanmar. It is a unicameral body with 68 seats, including 51 elected members and 17 military appointees. However, after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, the Hluttaw ceased to function, and its elected representatives were either arrested, forced into hiding, or displaced. The Hluttaw has resumed its functions as the legislature of Magway Region since 2026.

The military junta overthrew the democratically elected government, leaving the legislature inoperative. From 2021 to 2026, the Magway Region Hluttaw did not have any functioning leadership, including the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, or elected members. During that time period, the legislature was effectively seatless and inactive, with the military controlling the country and its political institutions.

Post-coup legislative status

Since the coup, the Magway Region Hluttaw, like all other state and regional legislatures in Myanmar, was dissolved as an active legislative body. There had been no elections to replace the NLD representatives, and the military junta has monopolized power at the national and regional levels. The legislature, as a democratic institution, was no longer operational.

From late 2025 to early 2026, elections for both the Union Assembly, and State and Region Hluttaws took place. These elections was also held for the Magway Region Hluttaw.

Current Composition

The third Hluttaw session commenced on 20 March 2026. Under the revised electoral framework, the assembly transitioned from a First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) system to a Proportional Representation (PR) system.

The current seat distribution is as follows:

• Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP): 46 seats (Includes Chin Ethnic Affairs)
• Tatmadaw Military Appointees: 15 seats (25% of total)

	Party	Seats
	USDP	46
	Representative for CEA (USDP)	1
	Military appointees	15
Total seats		62
