  The 51 seats in the National Assembly are elected using party-list proportional representation. Previous general elections had been held using ten multi-member constituencies, but following a ruling by the Constitutional Court in 2022 that judged that the malapportionment that existed was unconstitutional, it was decided to remedy this by abolishing the constituencies altogether, so that and all 51 seats were elected from a single nationwide constituency. This case was started by Serena Essed. The National Assembly approved the new electoral system on 13 October 2023.
