Proposition de loi visant à introduire une dose de proportionnelle lors des élections législatives

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a private member's bill tabled in the French National Assembly (Legislature 15) proposing to introduce a dose of proportional representation into elections to the Assemblée nationale. Under the current system, deputies are elected in single-member constituencies by two-round majority voting, which often gives a seat majority to parties with a smaller share of the national vote. The bill's aim is to bring the share of seats closer to the share of votes cast. If adopted, the change would affect voters, candidates and parties contesting legislative elections in France, and would alter how a portion of the National Assembly's seats are allocated. The exact design of the mixed system, including the proportion of seats involved, cannot be confirmed from metadata alone.
