How it works

Legislators are elected to office through the following ways:

  • 73 are elected under the first-past-the-post system in single-member constituencies.
  • 34 are elected under the supplementary member system on a second ballot, based on nationwide votes, and calculated using the largest remainder method by the Hare quota.[4] Any party which receives 5% or more of the Party vote can enter the parliament. For each party, at least half of the legislators elected under this system must be female.
  • 6 seats are elected by indigenous peoples voters through single non-transferable vote in two three-member constituencies.
