Composition of Provincial Assembly
Each Provincial Assembly consists of members elected via a mixed system: 60% FPTP and 40% PR. Total members vary by province population. At least one-third must be women.
Provincial assemblies use the same election system as the federal parliament: 60% of seats from constituencies (FPTP) and 40% from party lists (PR). Bigger provinces get more seats — Bagmati has the most, Karnali the fewest. At least 33% must be women. The PR system ensures smaller parties and marginalized groups get representation.
६०% प्रत्यक्ष (FPTP) + ४०% समानुपातिक (PR)। जनसंख्या अनुसार सिट संख्या। एक तिहाइ महिला अनिवार्य।
Mixed system balances geographic representation with proportional inclusion.
PR members are accountable to party leaders, not voters — weakens direct democratic accountability.
