Indirectly elected member

This article is about the constituency in Macau. For other uses, see Functional constituency (disambiguation).

Some members in the Legislative Assembly of Macau are elected through indirect election (Portuguese: Sufrágio Indirecto; Chinese: 間接選舉), where only professional or special interest sectors are involved in the electoral process. Eligible voters in a functional constituency are designated legal entities such as organisations and corporations. There are proposals to change the electoral system.

Hong Kong's Legislative Council has a similar political system known as "functional constituency".
