Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proportional representation is the system by which legislative seats are awarded based on the proportion of votes a party receives in an election. This means that if a party receives 30% of the votes, they would receive approximately 30% of the seats in the legislature. This is different from majority representation, where the party that receives the most votes in a district or region wins the seat, regardless of whether they received a majority or just a plurality of the votes.
