The parliamentary legal committee confirmed on Saturday that the electoral denominator 1.7 or any percentage would not affect the distribution of the seats of the provincial councils and the results of their elections due to the reduction of the membership by half.
"There is no disagreement within the parliament on the electoral system of Saint-Lego, but the dispute has arisen about the proportion of the electoral denominator," said committee member Salim Shawki in a press statement read by Mawazine News.
"In previous years, 1.6 percent allowed small blocs to take seats because the number of councilors was weak at the time. In the current law, the number of council members has been reduced by half," he said.
"Whether we adopted 1.4, 1.7, or 1.9 for the electoral constituency, this will not affect the number of council seats decreased, which means that the seats will be distributed according to the number of actual votes," he said, noting that "all the blocks and votes that will be obtained, whether divided by any denominator , Will not significantly affect the results. "
And voted the House of Representatives, last Monday, the federal government's proposal for Article 12 of the provincial council elections, which provides for the calculation of 1.7 percent in the distribution of votes to the winners.
