Additional Member system
- How it works
- Mixture of FPTP and the list
- Each voter has two votes, one for constituency
representative and one for a regional party list
- A proportion of seats are filled by FPTP. The
remaining seats are filled using 'closed'
party list system. Tops up
- Mixture of FPTP and the list
- Where it is used
- The Welsh assembly
- The Welsh assembly
- Advantages
- The mixed characteristics of this system balances the need for
constituency representation against the need for electoral fairness
- Although the system is broadly proportional in terms of
it outcomes, it keeps alive the possibility of single party
government
- It allows voters to make wider and more considered choices. For
example they can vote for different parties in the constituency and
list elections
- The mixed characteristics of this system balances the need for
constituency representation against the need for electoral fairness
- Disadvantage
- The retention of single member constituencies reduces the
likelihood of high levels of proportionality
- The system creates confusion by having two
classes of representation
- Constituency representation will be less effective than it is FPTP
because of the larger size of constituencies and because a
proportion have no constituency
- The retention of single member constituencies reduces the
likelihood of high levels of proportionality
