It has power to legislate in a wide range of areas that are not explicitly reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and to appoint the Northern Ireland Executive . It sits at Parliament Buildings at Stormont in Belfast . The assembly is currently in a period of non-existence after the assembly collapsed in January 2017 after the late Martin McGuinness' resignation . Periods of discussion to restore the assembly have failed . </P> <P> The Assembly is a unicameral, democratically elected body comprising 90 members known as Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). Members are elected under the single transferable vote form of proportional representation . In turn, the Assembly selects most of the ministers of the Northern Ireland Executive using the principle of power - sharing under the D'Hondt method to ensure that Northern Ireland's largest voting blocs, unionists and Irish nationalists, both participate in governing the region . The Assembly's standing orders allow for certain contentious motions to require a cross-community vote; in addition to requiring the support of an overall majority of members, such votes must also be supported by a majority within both blocs in order to pass . </P>
