Alternative Scenarios for Seat Allocation in Parliament

May 27, 2026

If the seat allocation were done exclusively within each district, the new parliament would consist of five parties with significant changes in seat distribution. DISY would gain more seats than it currently holds due to the existing electoral law. The discussion about the unfairness of the current electoral system has resurfaced after the elections. In Nicosia and Limassol, voters would have fewer representatives than they should if the allocation were strictly intradistrict. These proposed changes highlight the need for electoral reform.
