Party-List System
The Party-List System is an electoral system used to allocate seats in a legislature based on the proportion of votes each political party receives. Voters typically cast their ballots for a party rather than individual candidates. This system aims to ensure that smaller parties have a fair chance of representation, reflecting a wider range of political views in the government.
In this system, parties create a list of candidates before the election. After the votes are counted, seats are distributed according to the percentage of votes each party receives. This method is commonly used in countries like Israel and South Africa, promoting a more inclusive political landscape.
