General elections were held in Monaco on 3 February 2008.[1] The Union for Monaco was re-elected, though with a reduced margin of victory.

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.[2]
