About the electoral system

33 multi-member constituencies are used to elect the Assembly of Representatives of the People's 217 members using closed list proportional representation (and 6 representing Tunisian expatriates). Using the largest remaining technique, seats are assigned. In constituencies with four or more seats, lists must follow the zipper method, which implies a percentage of 50% between male and female candidates, and they must include a male and female candidate who is under 35 in the top four spots.
