Legislative elections in the Special Administrative Territories of the Federal Republic of Phinbella in RP 2619 are territorial general elections held in all special administrative territories on 28 February RP 2619 for the fifth Legislative Assemblies. This election is to elect a total of 118 members from the Legislative Assemblies in Cyberaya, Kota Hilir, Tri-State Area, Plazas de Irian and the Kantō-shū Islands. It was also the first election under President Muhammad Furkorn Mat Jeen after he takes office on 8 February RP 2618. Special Administration Territories election are conducted by the respective territorial electoral commissions, but the election writs are announced by its federal parent commission, the Phinbellan Electoral Commission.

Members of the territorial Legislative Assembly will be elected through full-preference instant runoff voting in the single-member electorate. This election is also the first for the territory of the Kantō-shū Islands after being made a new special administrative territory on January 23rd. Prior to the declaration of the Kantō-shū Islands, the four previous Territorial Legislative Assemblies were dissolved on January 14th.

Boundary changes

In July RP 2618, following a review of the number of elected seats for each Territorial Legislative Assembly taking into account local population forecasts, the Phinbellan Electoral Commission together with the respective territorial electoral commissions proposed to create a change in the boundaries of the elected areas across the three Territorial Legislative Assemblies:

1. Eight electoral district boundary changes for the Legislative Assembly of Kota Hilir;
2. Fifteen electoral district boundary changes for the Legislative Assembly of Plazas de Irian;
3. Four electoral district boundary changes for the Legislative Assembly of the Tri-State Area.
4. As of January RP 2619, there are seventeen constituencies for the Legislative Assembly of the Kantō-shū Islands.

Accordingly, as the Legislative Assembly of the Kantō-shū Islands will be established after this election, the number of seats elected for the RP 2619 election increased by 17 from 101 to 118.

Electoral system

Elections in special administrative territories are conducted separately from elections at the federal, entity and territorial levels. Because the legislatures in the five territories are unicameral, elections in the special administrative territories elect members of their respective territorial assemblies. Since all the special administrative territories have never followed the Westminster system instead, unlike at the federal level and the entities that use that system, the head of government for the special administrative territories is actually appointed by the President of Phinbella without election but with the confidence of the majority of members in the respective territorial legislatures, the head of government known as the Chief Executive is usually non-partisan in the government coalition.

The number of Legislative Assembly seats in each of the five special administrative territories is different, the members of the legislature are called Territorial Members of Legislative Assembly (MLA), who are elected for three to four-year terms. As at federal and entity level, each MLA is elected from a single-member geographical constituency using a first-past-the-post voting system; each constituency contains approximately the same number of voters. If one party gets the majority of seats, then that party has the right to form a government, but the head of the government is a non-partisan person, only from the government party.
