Following electoral system amendments introduced in April 2021, members of parliament are elected only through closed party lists by party list proportional representation method modified by a minority jackpot and optional second round with a majority jackpot .
[1][2] Four mandates are reserved for national minorities, provided they are included in corresponding section of party lists.
The party (or a newly formed coalition) which wins the second round of elections will be given additional number of mandates (as part of a majority jackpot, which is a conditional and flexible version of the majority bonus in this case) to reach 54% of all seats (provided the newly formed coalition does not already have over 54% of mandates from the results of the first round).
If any party or bloc wins over 2/3 of mandates, sufficient additional mandates are distributed among all other political forces represented in the parliament to ensure that at least 1/3 of all seats are held by forces other than the winning one (minority jackpot).
Since the requirement of assignment of 1/3 of all mandates to non-ruling parties is stipulated by the Constitution, some argue, that when withdrawal of oppositional MPs leads to violation of that rule, the ruling party shall be forced to call new snap elections.
