General elections were held in Monaco on 9 February 2003.[1] The result was a victory for the Union for Monaco alliance, which won 21 of the 24 seats in the National Council. Within the alliance, twelve seats were won by the Union for the Principality, four by the National Union for the Future of Monaco, three by Promotion of the Monegasque Family and two by Rally for Monaco.[2]

Electoral system

Voters can either choose a party list or choose candidates from various lists ("panachage") for the 24 seats. The 16 candidates with the most votes are elected (with the older candidate breaking possible ties in votes). The eight other seats are chosen from lists in accordance with the proportional representation system for parties that have at least five percent of votes.[3]
