The election system used is called [[Mixed-member proportional representation]]. There are 25 Electoral Districts that elect one member each to the Legislative Assembly. The remaining 22 seats are distributed based on the Parties Share of the Popular Vote, by a [[D'Hondt method|modified D'Hondt method]], with a 5% minimum threshold.
