Fairer seat distribution for Walloon municipal elections

Status: The proposal has been submitted and is waiting to be considered by parliament. (parliament: ‘Tabled’)
In plain language
- The proposal replaces the Imperiali calculation formula with the D'Hondt method to allocate local council seats in Wallonia.
- This affects voters, political parties, and citizen groups running in Walloon municipalities starting from the 2030 elections.
- Your vote is reflected more fairly, making it easier for smaller lists to enter the council and preventing big parties from being overly favored.
