Additional information about gender quotas

Iceland has no quotas regulation for the Lower Camera or in the Sub-national level. However, many political parties regulate voluntary quotas:

• Samfylkingin: each sex should be represented by, at least, 40%
• Vinstrihreyfingin-grænt framboð: gender equality has to be ensured when candidates are chosen.
• Framsóknarflokkur: as in the case of Samfylkingin, each sex has to be represented by, at least 40%.
• Kvennalistinn: just composed of women.
