In proportional representation electoral system, seats in the legislature are allocated based on

  1. A winner-takes-all system
  2. primary elections
  3. political party membership
  4. the percentage of votes a party receives ✓

Explanation

Proportional representation gives parties seats based on their vote percentage. If a party gets 30% of votes, they get about 30% of seats.

Winner-takes-all is the opposite system. Primaries and membership don’t determine seat allocation in proportional systems.

This system ensures minority views get representation in the legislature.
