Electoral system edit
The Chamber of Representatives consisted of 172 members; 162 were elected by proportional representation from 33 multi-member constituencies based on the departments, with seats allocated using the largest remainder method.[1] Two members were elected by the Afro-Colombian community and one by the indigenous community.[2] Although a new constituency had been created for the Raizal minority, legislation had not been approved to allow the election to take place. A further five seats were reserved for FARC and one for the running mate of the runner-up in the presidential election as part of the Colombian peace process.[3][4]
The Senate consisted of 108 members; 100 were elected a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation (with seats allocated using the largest remainder); two were elected from a two-seat constituency for indigenous Colombians;[5] five were reserved for FARC and one for the runner-up in the presidential election.
