The 51 members of parliament are elected across in single-member constituencies via a single-round, choose-one plurality voting, aka. the first-past-the-post (FPTP) / first-preference plurality (FPP) system.

Parliament may be expanded by up to 6 seats if necessary to ensure that women make up approximately 10% of the members.
