In MMP half or more of the members are elected from single-member electoral districts (usually by FPTP). The "additional members" in MMP are elected by party-list (usually closed-list) taking into account the single-member seats already won by each party. That is quite different from the party-list voting system used for the Swiss Conseil National. JG No virus found in this outgoing message.
