In line with international good practice, the boundaries of multi-member constituencies should preferably coincide with administrative, geographical, and historical boundaries and the seats should be distributed among constituencies proportionally. To account for demographic changes, the distribution of seats should subsequently be reviewed without changing the boundaries every ten years, preferably outside electoral periods. Any future constituency delimitation should be based on proposals of an independent authority and conducted in a transparent, impartial, and consultative manner.
