Write a short note on the list system.

It this system of proportional representation large multi-member constituencies are formed and many representatives are elected from each constituency. Each political party submits a list of as many candidates as are to be elected from a political constituency. Each voter votes not to the individuals as candidates, but to the whole list, these votes are indivisible to be elected. Each candidate has to secure atleast as many votes as are fixed by the quota of votes, the number of representatives of each party to be elected in any constituency is elected to the quotient obtained by dividing the total number of votes polled to the party by the quota.The same number of candidates enumerated in the party list from the top are declared successful.
