Strand One (paper three) on the operation of the additional member system of proportional representation in elections to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly

Monday, 02 February 1998

i27965

The document, dated 2 February 1998, discusses the proposed implementation of the Additional Member System (AMS) of proportional representation for elections to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly. Under this system, each voter casts two votes: one for a constituency member and one for a party, with constituency members elected on a 'first past the post' basis and additional members allocated based on party votes within European Parliamentary constituencies. The AMS aims to provide more proportional representation while maintaining the link between constituencies and their representatives, using a familiar voting method. The document highlights the benefits of AMS, including its comprehensibility, simplicity, and potential to promote gender balance and ethnic minority representation.
