Electoral system

The Parliament has 225 members elected for a five-year term. 196 members are elected from 22 multi-seat constituencies through a proportional representation system where each party is allocated a number of seats from the quota for each constituency according to the proportion of the total vote that party obtains in the district. The other 29 are elected from a national list, with list members appointed by party secretaries and seats allocated according to the island-wide proportional vote the party obtains.
