Paragraph 20
 

OSCE/ODIHR has therefore both in 1998 and in 2001 recommended introduction of a system based upon constituencies. There are many such systems available, some based upon majority votes, other with proportional representation. Moldova has used a proportional system so far, and it is most likely that one would want to keep this principle. One alternative would then be the German or Albanian system with a combination of single member constituencies and a countrywide (in Germany state-wide) party list election to compensate for a disproportional representation in the Parliament. In this case the voter would cast two votes.
