Electoral Systems Questions
The mixed-member proportional electoral system is a type of electoral system that combines elements of both proportional representation and plurality/majority systems. In this system, voters have two votes: one for a candidate in their local constituency and another for a political party. The seats in the legislature are then allocated based on the proportion of votes each party receives. The system also includes additional seats to ensure that the overall composition of the legislature reflects the proportion of votes received by each party. This system aims to provide a balance between local representation and proportional representation, allowing for a more diverse and representative legislature.
