Provincial Election Results

Results of general elections in each of the ten provinces (since 2015), comparing each party’s popular vote support with their actual representation.

The “Wanted” charts show the approximate number of seats for each party, based on their share of the popular vote. The “Got” charts show the election results, and the over/under representation for each party, compared to the popular vote. Only parties with at least 1% of the popular vote are indicated.
