Electoral Systems Questions
The closed list proportional representation electoral system is a voting system where political parties present a list of candidates to the voters. Voters then cast their vote for a specific party, rather than for individual candidates. The seats in the legislature are allocated to parties based on the proportion of votes they receive. The candidates who will occupy the seats are determined by the party, usually in the order they appear on the list. This system allows for a more proportional representation of political parties in the legislature, as the number of seats a party receives is directly proportional to the number of votes it receives.
