Abstract
The election cycles that have been held so far in the Republic of Macedonia,
since the independence until today, have been conducted in several ways.
Some of them were conducted as election of the people's representatives in the
country through one constituency, then there was a division of the country into
a large number of constituencies and the current Electoral Code has divided
the territory of the country into six constituencies.
The changes that were made by replacing the majority with a proportional
model was in order to enable equal representation of MPs from all parts of the
country and the same applies to local councils where representatives from all
parts of the municipality should participate. An important aspect is the
percentage of women as part of the electoral lists but also members of minority
communities.
In some countries in Europe (Denmark, BiH) the principle of open electoral
lists works, which lately has been increasingly promoted as an idea in Republic
of N.Macedonia.
This paper will try to present the advantages and disadvantages of both models
(open and closed electoral lists) from the aspect of the Macedonian democratic
political scene.
