Electoral system
Of the 166 members of the House of Representatives, 162 are elected by proportional representation from 33 multi-member constituencies based on the departments, with seats allocated using the largest remainder method.[3] Two members were elected by the Afro-Colombian community, one by the Indigenous community, and one by Colombian expatriates.[4] The 102 Senators are elected by two methods; 100 from a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation (with seats allocated using the largest remainder) and two from a two-seat constituency for Indigenous Colombians.[5]
