Honduras

The presidential election is held in a single-round, choose-one plurality rule, i.e. first-preference plurality (FPP) or first-past-the-post (FPTP) system. An absolute majority (more than half of the votes, 50%+) is therefore not required for victory.

The 128-member unicameral legislature is directly elected in a free list regional proportional representation system every 4 years.

The 18 constituencies correspond to the administrative departments (electing 1-23 representatives each - there is one single-seat district). The simple quota (Hare quota) and largest remainders method are used for the distribution of seats, which ensures a high degree of proportionality. There is no legal electoral threshold.

With the free list system (a type of vote pooling, open list), in which voters could divide their votes among multiple lists.
