Abstract

The proposed introduction of the mixed district system, majority and proportional refers to a prospective analysis in which sought, from the limits imposed by the current representative democracy model, determine whether the proposed gauging the will of the majority by voting in districts presents as a measure feasible to promote accountability and political representation of minorities, historically excluded from the democratic process, signaling progress in terms of societal integration.
