Electoral system for national legislature

Law No. 03/L=073 On General Elections in the Republic of Kosovo

Article 110
General Provisions

110.1 Kosovo shall be considered a single, multi-member electoral district.

110.2 A Political Entity shall submit a list of candidates based on procedures established by this law and CEC rules. Each candidate list shall comprise at least 30% of candidates from the other gender according to the table attached as Annex 1.

In 2007, the open-list proportional representation system replaced the closed-list proportional system. This was due to a civil society initiative to strengthen the voter representative relationship. From 2010 onwards, voters had the right to choose 5 proposed candidates from the candidate lists.
