Prozentsatz der von Frauen besetzten Parlamentssitze

While making this map, I discovered that a law stating that all lists of candidates for legislators must be male-female-male or female-male-female is not common.

In Argentina the law says that there must be a similar amount of men and women in the ballot, this had caused several „headaches“ when candidates drop from races, because it may skew the numbers. In our system parties run for say 6 positions so they have 6 candidates, the firsts are usually guaranteed to enter and subsequent candidates have a diminishing chance to get in.

But the rule applies to ballots, what happens after they get elected is not covered so you could have a congress with a ratio of 90% men and 10% women. it is convoluted af… But the positions are filled with those that didn’t get elected, so such a 90-10 composition is almost impossible to achieve.

Better wording, thanks.

These maps would be more helpful if they indicated where there were quotas for elected female politicians and what that quota is. It would also help if this map wasnt just 50 shades of red.

I can understand this map just fine, I don’t understand the critiques other than that the word „parliament“ shouldn’t be used.
