electoral rules  

Definición

  • Electoral rules are criteria to transform votes into collective decisions. They are generally inspired by one of three main principles: unanimity, which requires maximum consensus; majority, which makes a decision supported by half the voters valid; and proportionality, which gives every group a share of representation for further negotiations and broad agreements.
