The system of vote consolidation, if it will still be needed234, must be changed in order to be in line with the international standards; namely it must not damage the equality of voting rights and the equality of voting power for all voters. In this regard, the exact average weight factor, as stipulated in the Election Law, should be repealed. The following principles should guide the review of the vote consolidation system: (i) if a ballot with one vote “en plancha” is worth “1”, the sum of the individual weight attributed to nominal votes cast in each ballot can never exceed that value of “1”; the nominal votes can either have (ii) a fixed value equivalent to the fraction corresponding to as many candidates to be elected in a given constituency, or (iii) a variable value where the total weight of nominal votes really marked by a given elector in his/her ballot paper always amounts to “1”.
