The Assembly of the Woqalate (Qabóri: Qangreč lei Woqalaté), simply referred to as the Qangreč, the Qabóri translation for the word "assembly," is the supreme legislative body of the Tierradorian Woqalate. It is a unicameral legislature, and is one of few in the world to hold that status. From 1622 to 1971, the Qangreč was bicameral, featuring the Naswadet as the upper house and the Šawardet as the lower. During the height of the Walakee State, however, autocrat Pedro Kintón dissolved both houses and reformed the Qangreč as a 438-member unicameral legislature, as it stands today.

Members of the Qangreč are called delegates, and they typically serve a four-year term. Term limits are in place for every delegate along with the Qaphenć, whom are usually limited to three terms. However, the Fourth Term Rule allows delegates to run for a fourth term, with the risk of no longer being allowed to hold any political office if they lose. Delegates are chosen through 438 single-member constituencies, referred to as ridings. Ridings are redrawn every ten years based on the results of the Tierradorian census.

The powers of the Qangreč are outlined in the Woqalate Charter, which employs a system of checks and balances under semi-balanced jurisdiction of the Crown. Since 1772, all legislative meetings were held in the Tavaleset, one of the main components of the Taisgol Teklan. The Qangreč was originally first assembled in 677 AD after the defeat of the Abio Senate and Abio Woqalate in the Abio Wars. From 677 to 1622, the legislature was comprised of 60 independent representatives throughout the Qabóri Woqalate. Following governmental reforms in 1622, the Qangreč was split into two houses with 100 delegates in the Naswadet and 150 delegates in the Šawardet.
