Parliamentary elections were held in Colombia on 13 March 2022.[1]
Electoral system[]
Of the 166 members of the House of Representatives, 162 are elected by proportional representation from 33 multi-member constituencies based on the departments, with seats allocated using the largest remainder method.[2] Two members are elected by the Afro-Colombian community, one by indigenous community, and one by Colombian expatriates.[3]
The 102 Senators are elected by two methods; 100 from a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation (with seats allocated using the largest remainder) and two from a two-seat constituency for indigenous Colombians.[4]
Commons, the political successor of the former rebel group FARC, will be guaranteed five seats in the House and five in the Senate as part of the Colombian peace process.[5][6]
In addition for the first time, 16 seats in the House, as agreed to during the negotiations in Havana and ratified by an act of legislation on August 25, 2021, will be reserved for victims of the Colombian armed conflict. Citizens from 167 municipalities affected by the conflict are eligible for voting in the special victims constituency.[7][8]
