Monaco's electoral system

Monaco’s electoral system combines a mix of proportional representation and majority rule. Citizens aged 18 and over vote for a 24-member National Council, which is the legislative body. 16 members are elected through proportional representation in multi-member districts, ensuring diverse political views are represented. The remaining 8 seats are filled through a majority vote in a separate election. Additionally, the Prince plays a significant role in the political process, appointing some members and having a say in the legislative process. Overall, Monaco’s system aims for a balance between popular voting and monarchical influence.
