Electoral system

Under current election laws, the People's Assembly is elected for a term of five years by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold. Seats are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least 1 mandate.[1] Unlike most regional elections in Russia, party lists in Karachay-Cherkessia are not divided between territorial groups.
