Electoral system in Bangladesh

Bangladesh uses a parliamentary electoral system where citizens vote to elect members of the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament). The parliament has 300 directly elected members representing geographic constituencies, chosen through a first-past-the-post system, meaning the candidate with the most votes wins. Additionally, 50 seats are reserved for women, allocated proportionally based on each party's total votes. Elections are conducted periodically, ensuring representation and accountability. This system combines direct electoral choice with proportional representation to reflect diverse political preferences and promote inclusive governance.
