Electoral system

[edit]

The 52 members of Parliament are elected for four years terms by single non-transferable vote in eighteen constituencies, ten of which are multi-member constituencies of between two and seven seats, while the remaining eight are single-member constituencies in which the vote takes the form of a first-past-the-post system.[3]
