| Answer» Proportional Representation\xa0is a\xa0system\xa0used to elect a country’s government\xa0in which parties gain seats in proportion to the number of votes cast for them.Proportional Representation (PR) characterizes electoral systems in which divisions in an electorate are reflected proportionately in the elected body.

The essence of such systems is that all votes contribute to the result—not just a plurality, or a bare majority. | |
