Electoral Units of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Elections to the House of Representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina are carried out using open Party-list proportional representation. Eight constituencies, known as electoral units each elect between three and six representatives, giving a total of thirty. A further twelve representatives are elected nationwide, to ensure proportionality. Electoral units are numbered, and each one is contained completely within one entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, two cantons make up a unit; whereas in Republika Srpska, units are based on municipalities.
