Under list systems, political parties produce lists of nominated candidates. These lists may be produced at the national level, or more usually at the regional level. There are different types of list systems, each with a different voting method. For closed lists a vote is cast for a party. If a party wins three seats, the top three candidates on the list (decided by the party) are elected. Under an open list system, the parties still publish lists of candidates, but voters are able to vote for the candidates they prefer. If three seats are won they go to the three candidates of that party with the most personal votes who are elected. In semi-open systems voters can chose to vote for individuals or a party.
