The 13th National People's Congress (NPC) was elected from October 2017 to February 2018 and was in session in the five-year period from 2018 to 2023. It held five sessions in this period, occurring around early March every year until before 2023, when the 14th National People's Congress first convened.

An indirect, Communist Party-controlled selection: delegates are chosen through tiers of party-managed elections with no opposition permitted, and the eight licensed minor parties all formally accept CCP leadership. Recorded here as the workings of a one-party state, not as a competitive election.
