Dual-member mixed proportional
(Redirected from Dual member proportional)
Dual-member mixed proportional (DMP), also known as dual-member proportional, is an mixed member proportional type electoral system designed to produce proportional election results across a region by electing two representatives in each of the region’s districts.[1][2] The 1st seat in every district is awarded to the candidate who receives the most votes, similar to first-past-the-post voting (FPTP). The 2nd seat is awarded to one of the remaining district candidates so that proportionality is achieved across the region, using a calculation that aims to award parties their seats in the districts where they had their strongest performances.
