Paragraph 66
 

As regards the system for the allocation of seats for the House of Peoples of the Federation of BiH, this is governed by norms from two levels:



 On the Entity level, the Constitution of the Federation provides that if a canton has any delegate in its cantonal assembly from a particular constituent people, then that canton must send a representative of that constituent people to the House of Peoples of the Federation.


 On the State level, the Election Law of BiH provides that each canton must send a minimum of one delegate from each constituent people.
