Electoral System
Members of the House of Representatives are elected by a hybrid of single-member electorate seats are elected using Instant Runoff Voting, making up half of the seats in the House of Representatives, where the candidate with the least first preferences is eliminated until one candidate has 50.01% of the votes cast in an electorate, and A closed-list Proportional Representation party vote, using the voter’s highest usable preference (i.e. highest-ranked party that has registered a party list with the NEC for that election), being added to the national tally. Then, all party votes will be combined to get a national party vote (NPV).
All Parties with more than 2% of the NPV, or a party that has won at least one electorate seat, will have their vote counts transferred to the List seat allocation. The parties percentage of the national usable votes tally (i.e. Party votes cast for eligible parties) will be multiplied by the number of seats in parliament (currently 361), minus the count of seats won by independent candidates. The resulting number will be the entitlement of a party for that election. The list seats make up half+1 of seats in Parliament, and will be allocated to each party to ensure as many parties as possible reach their entitlement, ensuring proportionality.
Senators are elected by Hare-Clarke preferential voting using 9 multi-member districts. 8 of 8 members, and 1 of 7 members. 4 seats in each district were up for election.
