Electoral system

The 130 seats in the House of Representatives consist of 115 members elected by open list proportional representation from 23 constituencies of between three and nine seats in size and 15 seats reserved for women.[3] Nine of the 115 proportional representation seats are reserved for the Christian minority, with another three reserved for the Chechen and Circassian minorities.[3]

The 15 seats for women are awarded to the woman who received the most votes (but failed to be elected on their list) in each of the twelve governorates and the three Badia districts.[4]
