Proposition de loi modifiant la législation en ce qui concerne la suppression de l'effet dévolutif des votes exprimés en case de tête.
This is a private member's bill in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives. It would amend electoral legislation to remove the 'effet dévolutif' (devolutive effect) of votes cast in the 'case de tête', the top box on the ballot paper that lets a voter back a party list as a whole. Under the current system, such votes are passed on to the candidates on that list, in order of their place on it. The bill concerns how Belgian elections are counted. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text. Voters who use the top box, political parties and their list candidates would be affected, since the way top-box votes are attributed to candidates would change. The precise effects would depend on the bill's detailed provisions, which are not included in the metadata.
