Electoral System in Fiji
The electoral system in Fiji is a mix of both First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) and Proportional Representation (PR) systems.

First-Past-the-Post (FPTP)
- In Fiji, the FPTP system is used in the single-member constituencies where the candidate with the highest number of votes wins the seat.
- This system is employed for electing members of the Parliament in the 51 single-member constituencies.

Proportional Representation (PR)
- The PR system is used to elect members from 48 communal constituencies based on ethnicity - Indigenous Fijians, Indo-Fijians, and General Voters.
- Each voter gets three votes - one for the Indigenous Fijian communal constituency, one for the Indo-Fijian communal constituency, and one for the General Voters' constituency.
- The number of seats allocated to each communal group is determined by their population size, ensuring proportional representation in Parliament.

Open List System
- Fiji uses an open list system for the PR component of its electoral system.
- Voters can choose specific candidates from within a political party's list, allowing them to have a say in the ranking of candidates on the party list.
- This system provides voters with more choice and influence over the composition of Parliament.

Conclusion
The electoral system in Fiji combines elements of both FPTP and PR systems to ensure representation of different ethnic groups in Parliament while also providing voters with the opportunity to have a say in the selection of candidates through the open list system.
