Electoral system

Under current election laws, the Parliament is elected for a term of five years by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. Seats are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least 1 mandate.

To register regional lists of candidates, parties need to collect 0.5% of signatures of all registered voters in Kabardino-Balkaria.
