Indirectly elected member

This article is about the constituency in Macau. For other uses, see Functional constituency (disambiguation).

Some members in the Legislative Assembly of Macau are elected through indirect election (Portuguese: Sufrágio Indirecto; Chinese: 間接選舉), where only professional or special interest sectors are involved in the electoral process. Eligible voters in a functional constituency are designated legal entities such as organisations and corporations. Hong Kong's Legislative Council has a similar political system known as "functional constituency".

Candidates stood in the indirect elections under a list. The prevailing lists since 2001 in each of the electoral sectors are as follows:
