Paragraph 25
 

Another mechanism used in this Law is proportional representation of the population of the canton as reflected in the last census of each constituent people and group of others to the House of Peoples of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Article 10.12 the Law prescribes that the number of delegates from each constituent people and group of others to be elected to the House of Peoples of the Federation from the legislature of each canton shall be proportionate to the population of the canton as reflected in the last census. The Election Commission will determine, after each new census, the number of delegates elected from each constituent people and from the group of others that will be elected from each cantonal legislature.
