Proportional Representation Voting
Proportional Representation Voting is an electoral system designed to ensure that political parties gain seats in the legislature in proportion to the number of votes they receive. This method contrasts with winner-takes-all systems, where only the candidate with the most votes wins, often leading to a lack of representation for smaller parties.
In Proportional Representation, voters typically cast their ballots for a party rather than an individual candidate. The total votes for each party are then calculated, and seats are allocated based on these percentages, allowing for a more diverse representation of views in the government, including those of smaller parties and minority groups.
