The Aichi Prefectural Assembly (愛知県議会, Aichi-kengikai) is the legislative assembly of Aichi Prefecture.
Its 103 members are elected in 57 districts by single non-transferable vote (SNTV) to four-year terms.
The assembly is responsible for enacting and amending prefectural ordinances, voting on important administrative appointments made by the governor including the vice-governors and approving the budget – Aichi has been in recent years the only prefecture besides Tokyo with a "fiscal strength index" (zaiseiryoku shisū) above 1, i.e. it is able to cover its calculated expenses with its own revenues.
