Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effective threshold in a proportional representation system, particularly when dealing with a district with multiple seats, can be roughly estimated by the formula 100% / (number of seats + 1). For a district with 10 seats, this calculation would be 100% / (10 + 1) = 9.09%. The closest answer to this calculation is 10%, making option A the correct choice.
