165 members were elected via first-past-the-post system [6] and 110 through the proportional representation system to form the 275-member House of Representatives for a five-year term. On 7 February 2018, the provincial electoral colleges, composed of provincial assembly members elected in the provincial elections and chairs and deputy-chairs of local administrative units elected in the local elections, elected eight members each, for a total of 56 elected members, and three more were appointed by the President as nominated by the government, to form the 59 member National Assembly. The National Assembly members drew lots to determine the thirds whose terms would be of two, four and six years respectively.

On 23 January 2020, the National Assembly electoral college met for the second time to elect 18 of the 19 Class I members. [7] The electoral college met again on 26 January 2022 to elect 20 members of the 2nd Class. [8]

The House of Representatives was dissolved on 20 December 2020 by President Bidya Devi Bhandari on the request of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli's cabinet. [9] The House was reinstated on 24 February 2021 following a decision by the Supreme Court of Nepal.
