SA Electoral System 101: The South African electoral system at the - TopicsExpress

SA Electoral System 101: The South African electoral system at the national and provincial level (and more or less half at the local level) is a proportional representation closed party list system. This means that every contesting party submits a rank list of candidates that can only be changed 12 months after the elections. In other words, if your list has 200 candidates, and you get two seats, the first two on that list fills those seats. The only way another person can fill a seat is if he or she is next on the list and a person before him or her declines to fill the seat (either voluntary or through other means), dies or is expelled by the party. You cant fill the seats willy nilly. That is why lists are so contested in the run up to an election. Voters, in the absence of voting directly for their candidates, vote for those closed lists and it is assumed that they base their decision, in part, on who fills the lists. That is why they remain fixed for a period.
