The General Fono (Tokelauan: Fono Fakamua) is the unicameral parliament of Tokelau. It has 20 members, representing the 3 atolls. Elections are held every three years and meets several times a year. The location for these legislative sessions shifts among the atolls.
Tokelau is a de facto non-partisan democracy since both village and Fono elections are made without political parties.
The number of seats each atoll receives in the Fono is determined by population – currently Fakaofo and Atafu each have seven and Nukunonu has six. Faipule and pulenuku also sit in the Fono.
