i. Constituency Assembly Member
Constituency Assembly Members are elected in a “first past the post” system.
In each constituency the votes on the yellow Constituency Assembly Member ballot papers are added up. The candidate with the most votes in each constituency is elected.
In total 14 Constituency Assembly Members are elected through this system.
ii. London-wide Assembly Member
London-wide Assembly Members are elected by a “Modified d’Hondt Formula”, which is a form of proportional representation.
Across London the votes cast on the peach London-wide Assembly Member ballot papers are added up. Taking into account the results of the Constituency Assembly Member election, the remaining seats are proportionally allocated to the parties or individuals in recognition of their London-wide vote.
Each party or independent candidate must receive 5% of the total number of London-wide votes cast in order to be included in this process. Any parties or candidates with less than 5% of the votes are eliminated.
In total 11 London-wide Assembly Members are elected through this system.
