Parliamentary elections were held in Benin on 26 April 2015.[1]
Electoral system
The 83 members of the National Assembly are elected in 24 multi-member constituencies, based on the country's departments. Seats are allocated using proportional representation based on the simple quotient, with remaining seats assigned using the largest remainder method.[2]
