Political representation in a mixed electoral system involves a combination of proportional and majoritarian elements, allowing for diverse representation of views. Voters often cast ballots for both individual candidates and party lists, which can result in a more equitable reflection of the electorate's preferences. This system aims to balance the need for local representation with broader political diversity. However, it can also lead to complexities in governance, including coalition-building and negotiation among parties. The effectiveness of representation depends largely on the design of the electoral system and voter engagement.
