The rules of the game

The Chamber of Deputies (331 seats) and the Senate (134 seats) are elected by closed-list proportional representation in the 42 county and diaspora constituencies, using the d'Hondt method with a 5% threshold and reserved Chamber seats for national-minority groups. Holding the parliamentary election in the gap between the two presidential rounds — and amid revelations of foreign interference in the presidential campaign — gave the contest an unusually charged, unpredictable character.
