Electoral Systems Questions
The mixed-member majoritarian electoral system is a type of electoral system that combines elements of both proportional representation and plurality/majoritarian systems. In this system, voters have two votes - one for a candidate in their single-member district and another for a political party. The single-member district winners are determined through a plurality/majoritarian method, while the remaining seats are allocated to parties based on their overall share of the party vote. This system aims to balance the representation of individual candidates and political parties, allowing for a more proportional outcome while still maintaining a connection between constituents and their local representatives.
