Commune Council (Cambodia)

There are 1,646 communes (khums/sangkats) in Cambodia.

Each Commune Council (Khmer: ក្រុមប្រឹក្សាឃុំសង្កាត់) is composed of 5 to 11 members depending on demography and geography, elected through a proportional system where nationally registered political parties can compete by presenting a list of candidates of at least twice the number of seats in each Commune.

Commune councillors vote on their constituents' behalf in Senate elections.

As such, a victory in communal elections would all but guarantee a majority in the Senate.
