Notes
Article 16 of Law 44/2022 stipulates: The proportion of men and women candidates running in parliamentary and local elections must be balanced, so that each gender makes up at least 40% of candidates across any list as a whole. Where there are fewer than five seats at stake, the aim should be for the proportion of men and women candidates to be as numerically balanced as possible. The rules set out above are to be applied to lists of alternate candidates.
