In tables 4 and 5 in columns MPRP and DP are those who voted only for one party. In case of mixed choice
they are in next columns. Small parties and independents are not present because of small sample size.

The existing Election law gives every voter from 2 to 4 votes that he/she may distribute between various parties
and candidates. It means that Elections distribution is based on multiple choices. The Parliament proportion of
