Twenty-eight general councillors (Catalan: consellers generals) are elected, based on closed party lists:[3] [4]
The parish lists and the national list are independent of one another: the same person cannot appear on both the national list and on a parish list, and voters cast two separate ballots. There is no requirement to vote for the same party for both lists.[7]
The 1993 Constitution limits the number of full terms served by a prime minister to two.[8]
