Overview
The constituency was set up in 1976 election when the highest averages method of the closed party-list proportional representation electoral system was introduced. No change of boundary had been made throughout since 1976.
The constituency covers all the parishes and zone in Macau. Members have been elected with seats apportioned with a peculiar highest averages method. While D'Hondt uses 1,2,3,4,... as divisors, Macau instead uses 1,2,4,8,... as divisors [1] Their method disadvantages large parties, which is highly unusual among electoral systems. Suffrage was opened to Macau Residents without Portuguese citizenship in 1984.
