Members are elected by a mixed electoral system, allowing two votes for each person, one vote for individuals running in 18 local districts, and another for a national party-list system. Out of the 138 seats of the House, 97 are for representatives from local districts, while 41 are for party-list representatives. There are also quotas for specific demographics, including 12 for Christian, Circassian, and Chechen minorities, as well as 18 seats reserved for women.
