An electoral system in which parties are assigned seats in the parliament commensurate to the number of votes polled is
Absolute majority
Simple majority
proportional representation
indirect election
Correct answer is C
Proportional representation (PR) characterizes electoral systems in which divisions in an electorate are reflected proportionately in the elected body. If n% of the electorate support a particular political party, then roughly n% of seats will be won by that party. The essence of such systems is that all votes contribute to the result - not just a plurality, or a bare majority.
