Notes:
Amendments to electoral legislation in 2023 mandate "When nominated by a party or coalition, at least 30 percent of all candidates in the 2024 regular election, and at least 40 percent in the 2028 regular election, shall be of one gender," and that "Parties and coalitions shall nominate candidates based on the order of the list with a 1:1 gender ratio."
This was an increase from the 20% quota in the 2020 election. Financial incentives are also provided to political parties to increase the participation of persons with disabilities and women.
