Constitution

Parliamentary elections are due to be held in Iceland by 29 October 2020, but may be held earlier if a government is unable to be formed following the 2016 elections.

Electoral system

The 63 members of the Althing are elected using closed list proportional representation in multi-member constituencies of 8 to 13 seats.[1] Of the 63 seats, 54 are elected using constituency results and determined using the d'Hondt method. The remaining nine supplementary seats are awarded to parties that crossed the 5% national electoral threshold in order to give them a total number of seats equivalent to their national share of the vote.[1]
