Electoral system

The 12 seats in the Legislative Council are elected by plurality-at-large voting, with voters allowed to cast up to 12 votes. There are no registered political parties, so all candidates ran as independents. The election was observed by a team from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association which included Gibraltar's Minister for Industrial Relations, Leslie Bruzon. [2]
