Electoral system

The Parliament was elected by proportional representation in a single national constituency. In 2002 the electoral law was amended to change the electoral threshold, which had previously been at 3% for independent candidates and 6% for political parties and electoral blocs. [3] For electoral blocs of two parties it was raised to 9%, and for blocs of three or more, it was raised to 12%. [3]
