The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly (ISO: Āndhra Pradēś Śāsana Sabha) is the lower house of the bicameral legislature of the Indian state, Andhra Pradesh.^[1]

The Legislative Assembly consists of 175 members which are elected by adult universal suffrage under the first-past-the-post system. The duration of the Assembly is five years from the date appointed for its first meeting, unless it is decided to dissolve the Assembly sooner. The Legislative Assembly's main functions include legislation, overseeing of administration, passing the budget, and airing public grievances.^[2]

The Legislative Assembly holds three sessions annually, one for Budget and the other for Monsoon and Winter sessions.^[3]

The Legislative Assembly took up residence in the interim Legislative Assembly Building in Amaravati beginning from the 2016 Budget session. The new building has systems for automatic speech translation and automatic vote recording.^[4]
