OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Report: 2012 Parliamentary elections, 2012-07-27

“The parliament is composed of 300 MPs elected for a four-year term by a proportional system with compensatory seats. The seat allocation procedures are complex, with seats calculated both at the national and at constituency levels using the Hare formula of the largest remainder. The legislation provides that 238 deputies are elected through an open list, proportional representation system in 56 single and multi-member constituencies, while 12 “state deputies” are elected on closed party lists in a countrywide constituency based on the proportion of the total vote that each party received. Moreover, the 50 remaining ‘bonus’ seats are granted to the leading party.”
