Parliamentary elections to "relative" of the parties and "individual" for independents

The Cabinet at its meeting next Wednesday under the chairmanship of Dr. Essam Sharaf amendments to the Law on Exercising Political Rights and the resolution of the application of the next parliamentary elections, which will be on the list relative to the individual parties and independents.

An official judicial source said that the individual system is his idea to divide the country into many circles (222 in Egypt now) each constituency shall elect a deputy or deputies for their representation in the Council.

The advantages of this system are: to increase his department deputy link small circle and give the issues a greater opportunity for direct representation in parliament.

The disadvantages is that it gives money and buying votes a great opportunity to influence the election results .. It also allows for the hysterical and tribal major role in the selection of MPs in some circles, on the basis of family links, regardless of their qualifications and their programs.

Many take on this system is that it produces a parliament does not reflect the real size of the electorate. It is possible to reach a candidate to the Council of People's 10 thousand votes in a small circle, while another candidate fails despite winning twice that number because in the larger circle.

The list relative one each with the vote on the programs and parties, not people. In this system, the constituencies are fewer and larger space. For example, instead of Shubra be a separate department elect two vice only, to join a group of neighborhood to form a big circle to choose 10 deputies, for example.

In this case, will present each party or group of parties close to each other or even a group of independents, a list of ten candidates for the Chamber. And lists of competing political parties and voters can only vote to select the menu that suits them. After the elections, the distribution of seats in the circle on the lists in proportion to votes obtained. And are typically required to grant access to the list seats a minimum of sounds, not 5%, for example.

In a related development will completely get rid of all the electoral rolls prepared by the former regime and crowded the dead and those who do not have the status of election and use the national ID database in the election.

Will also be - for the first time - the use of electronic voting for Egyptians abroad in presidential elections and referenda.
