Explanation:
In a proportional representation electoral system seats in the legislature are allocated to political parties based on their share of the total vote cast in the election.
In this system each political party gets a seat allocation based on its performance in the election.
For instance, if the candidates of a party win 50% of the vote in a 10 member district, they receive five of the ten seats — or 50% of the seats. If another party wins 30% of the vote, they get three seats, and so on.
