It is sometimes called Local Representation. The degree of [[Proportionate Representation]] for each regionIt is defined by the difference between the percentone of seats obtained and the percent of the population (not voters) in that region. In a similar manner tomany [[Proportionaltypes Representation]] there is no agree upon metric for combining these differences. However, since most systems have [[Balancedof representation]] inwhich thatcan districtsbe areconsidered definedin by having equal population the exact calculation ofa [[ProportionateRepresentative RepresentationGovernment]]. What is more common is the granularity of the [[Regional System]], or the number or seats per region. [[Single member]] systems have the maximum possible granularity of Proportionate Representation if the population is divided evenly by population.
