Scrutin de Liste

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scrutin de Liste (Fr. scrutin, voting by ballot, and liste, a list), is a system of election of national representatives in France by which the electors of a department vote for all the deputies to be elected in that department (compare the "general ticket" in the United States). It is distinguished from the scrutin d'arrondissement, under which the electors in each arrondissement vote only for the deputy to be elected in it.

It is a system of bloc voting, usually used in modern elections to refer to a system of party-list proportional representation.
