The Assembly was established by article 11 of the 1961 statute which established Wallis and Futuna as an overseas territory.^[1]

The territorial assembly consists of 20 members, elected for a five-year term by proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies. ʻUvea has 13 seats — 6 for the Mua District, 4 for the Hahake District, and 3 for the Hihifo District. Futuna has 7 seats, 4 for the Alo District and 3 for Sigave.^[1][2] The electoral system uses a closed list, with voters voting for a single party. The seats are distributed in each constituency using the highest averages method.^[2][3]

The powers and competencies of the assembly are a modified version of those originally granted to the Congress of New Caledonia.^[1][4] It meets twice a year with an administrative session in the middle of the year and a budgetary session at the end of the year, for a maximum duration of 45 days each. Extraordinary sessions, not exceeding 15 days, can also take place.^[4] Debates can take place in French, Wallisian or Futunian. Interpreters are present and the reports can be written in the three languages.^[5]
