Electoral system
The 111 members of the National Parliament are elected from single-member constituencies by preferential voting; voters are given up to three preferences, with a candidate declared elected once they received over 50% of preference votes.[2] Of the 111 members, 89 are elected from "open" seats and 22 from provincial seats based on the twenty provinces, the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and the National Capital District (Port Moresby).
