Proportional representation is a system of allocating seats in the legislature based on the total votes received by each political party in an election. In this system, the number of seats a party gets in the legislature is proportional to the number of votes it received in the election. This means that if a party gets 40% of the total votes cast in an election, it will get 40% of the seats in the legislature. This system aims to ensure that the representation in the legislature is proportional to the support each party receives from voters, giving smaller parties a better chance of being represented.
