electoral system change: 'virtual sub-districts'?

See: IFES Election Guide

"In the House of Deputies (Majlis al-Nuwaab) 120 members are elected by single non-transferable vote to serve 4-year terms. There are 45 single- and multi-member constituencies. These are further divided into "virtual districts." While the voter chooses among all candidates in a constituency, candidates register in one virtual district each, and the plurality winner in each wins the respective seat. 12 seats are reserved to women. These go to the 12 highest female vote-getters in reserve virtual districts, with the exception that no governorate - there are 12 - or Bedouin district - there are 3 - may return more than one female Deputy to a reserve seat. Female candidates can, however, win non-reserve seats. Finally, 12 seats are reserved for Christian and Circassian candidates." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.78.17.162 (talk) 12:29, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
