The principle of equal voting rights requires each voter to have the same number of votes. This requirement is obviously met by the present amendment as each voter has two votes, namely the first vote (vote in a given constituency) and the second vote (party list vote). The fact that second votes in some constituencies will not contribute to the allocation of seats does not go against this principle, it is just an example of “wasted votes” which, as recognised by the European Court of Human Rights, are unavoidable in any electoral system.
