Summary
While a constituency representative could enter parliament with twenty percent of the votes, a further ballot would be necessary in a mayoral election with the same vote result. Konstantin Setzer analyses from a legal dogmatic perspective why the majority principle has such varying effects, and which electoral systems are constitutionally admissible.
