Worked practice questions

Special parliamentary seats reserved for women in Tanzania are allocated according to the:

order in which candidates registered
population of each administrative region
proportion of votes each party secured
seniority of members within each party

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. proportion of votes each party secured

1. The special seats are a government initiative to improve proportional representation between men and women in parliament. 2. They are not contested in the ordinary constituency way. 3. Instead they are distributed according to the proportion of votes each political party secured in the general election. 4. So a party's share of the national vote determines how many special seats it receives. 5. The permanent voters' register plays no part in selecting who fills them, which is a recorded confusion. _Source: NECTA CSEE 2022 Civics 011, Question 1: Multiple Choice, item (iv)_

1. Tanzania holds its general election on a fixed cycle. 2. That cycle runs every five years. 3.
