Legislative size (directly elected)

Section 4
Allocation of Seats

4.2 The seats in the Assembly shall be distributed according to the system of representation established by paragraph 9.1.3 of the Constitutional Framework, that is, by allocating:

1. One hundred (100) seats amongst all certified political entities in proportion to the number of valid votes received by them; and
2. The twenty (20) seats reserved for the additional representation of Communities, in the manner specified in the Constitutional Framework.

The Assembly is composed of 120 elected members, 20 of which are reserved for minorities (10 for members of the Serb community and 10 for other non-Serb minorities). This system of set-aside seats was designed to motivate the participation of the ethnic Serb community, which had boycotted the first municipal elections.
