User:Pappubahry/Electoral system table

This table deals with voting to select candidates for office, not for the passing of legislation.

Key

 * Seats per district : Most elections are split into a number of districts (for example, a constituency). In some elections, there is one person elected per district. In others, there are many people elected per district.
 * Total number of seats : the number of representatives elected to the body in total.
 * Election threshold : see Election threshold
 * FPTP : Using the system of FPTP voting to pick a single winner per district
 * Party list : One of many Party-list proportional representation systems. Where possible, this has been replaced by the allocation system used within the party-list (e.g. D'Hondt method)
 * Parallel voting : This means that two simultaneous systems are used to elect representatives to the same body. If there is interchange between the two systems (e.g. the number elected in one system affects the number elected in the other) then this is called  the additional member system.
