Party-list proportional representation: Difference between revisions

'''Party-list proportional representation''' systems are a family of voting[[Partisan systemssystem]] used in multiple-winner elections (e.g. elections to parliament), emphasizing [[proportional representation]]. In these systems, parties make lists of candidates to be elected, and seats get allocated to each party in proportion to the number of votes the party receives. Voters may vote directly for the party, like in Israel, or they may vote for candidates and that vote will pool to the party, like in Turkey and Finland. The order in which the party's list candidates get elected may be pre-determined by some method internal to the party (a [[closed list]] system) or they may be determined by the voters at large (an [[open list]] system).
