Electoral system
Of the 188 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.[3] Two members are elected by the Afro-Colombian community, one by the Indigenous community, one by Colombian expatriates,[4] 16 for the Development Programs with a Territorial Approach (PDET) through the Special Transitory Peace Constituencies (CITREP) as part of the peace agreements with the FARC-EP; and one for the second highest vice-presidential vote. The 108 Senators are elected by two methods; 100 from a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation (with seats allocated using the largest remainder) two from a two-seat constituency for Indigenous communities, and one for the presidential opposition.[5]
