ABSTRACT
As more and more countries of the world are turning into constitutional democracies, the effects of electoral systems on politics remain a subject of justifiable interest in the discipline of political science. Indeed, it has been highlighted by such system transformation. Currently, the most obvious target for electoral system designing is Eastern Europe, where all countries embarked on free or at least partially free parliamentary elections after the communist regimes collapsed in 1989. It is important to look at these early electoral systems for their formative influence on the new multi-party systems.
