Electoral system family

1969 Electoral Code amended up to 1994; Articles 105 and 105a Article 105 All of the district's seats shall be attributed to the list obtaining the greatest number of votes. In the case where a single list is running, it is declared elected no matter the number of votes it has obtained. Article 105a For seat apportionment at the national level, the electoral quotient shall be determined by adding up the number of votes having won no seats at constituency level and by dividing these votes by the number of seats to be apportioned nationwide. The nationwide seat apportionment among lists having won no seats in one or more constituencies shall be done on the basis of the proportional system taking into account the highest average. The following shall be taken into consideration in this apportionment : for the lists of political parties, votes obtained at the national level that have not won these lists seats at the level of one or more constituencies. for other lists, votes obtained at the constituency level that have not won these lists seats in the constituency. In the case where averages are equal, the seat is allocated to the largest total. Seats obtained by each party in the national distribution are awarded on the basis of the ranking on each list when the candidacy was presented. The first seat, however, is allocated to the list having received the highest percentage of votes in the constituency where it ran. The second seat will then be allocated to the next list until all the seats obtained by a party have been allocated. If the number of seats to be allocated exceeds the number of lists, the operation is repeated according to the same method. In the case of equal percentages in two or more constituencies, the seat shall be allocated to the list having obtained the largest number of votes. The seats obtained by lists not affiliated with political parties shall be allocated according to the ranking of candidate names on the list. Results shall be publicly proclaimed by the Minister of Interior who shall make sure they are published in the Official Gazette ofthe Republic of Tunisia (JORT).
