The 2021 Seketese General Election was held on March 29 2021 to elect members of the Commons Council, the lower house of the Hérvynsken. The election came after 4 years of Socialist coalition rule with the Labour Party. The President of Seketan, Fjedor Alesk formally dissolved the Commons Council on February 15 2017 at the request of Prime Minister Eris Kellisyen.
The election saw the populist Our Revolution, led by former comedian and TV personality Simy Brasa, win a landslide victory. It was the first time a party other than the Socialists and National Conservatives won an election since the Seketese revolution, with both parties receiving record low seats and vote counts. Socialist Party support collapsed, with their caucus halved and many prominent ministers losing their districts.
Electoral system
Since 2004, Seketan has used a mixed voting system to elect members to the Commons Council. 193 of seats are elected from single-member districts using First-past-the-post voting (district seats), and 100 seats are elected from at-large provincial constituencies using close Party-list proportional representation (provincial seats). Unlike other mixed systems like in South Korea or Ukraine, voters cast a single vote for their district seat, with their chosen candidates party affiliation being counted for the provincial seat. Both district and provincial seats are allocated to the provinces by population as such below.
