The Alezian Legislative Election of 2021 is scheduled to be held on Monday 1 November 2021 and will elect all 443 members of the |National Parliament of the Alezian Union through universal suffrage using a First Past The Post (FPTP) and a winner-takes-it-all system enacted in all 443 of the nation's constituencies.
Background
After the Reunification of the Alezian Union, the newly formed National Council announced that the first general election of the country shall be held in November-December 2021. This was in order to immediately exercise the nation's power to democracy without borrowing the North Alezian parliamentary seats for too long, and thus, the preparation for the election was held immediately even after the Reunification Ceremony started, and the newly made Committee of Alezian Elections (CAE) quickly opened party registrations for the Legislative Elections.
Electoral System
The Alezian Union implemented a Mixed-Member Voting to elect its 886 members of Parliament. Similiar to Germany, It combines the First-Past-The-Post and Proportional Representation where each eligible citizen of the Alezian Union elects two people. One representing their constituency and one representing their selected Political Party.
Once elected, the members of the Parliament of the Alezian Union holds the position for five years which then another election (which will be combined with the Premiership Election, making it the Alezian Union's first General Election) will be held. Members of the Parliament have no term limits.
To qualify for a Propotional Representation Seat, a party must receive 3% of the Nation-wide votes in order to receive a seat. Should a party fail, then the remaining seat shall be given to either Independents or the lowest-ranked Party, depending on conditions.
