Which electoral system best suits a heterogeneous political environment?
Non-transferable votes
Preferential ballot
Proportional representation

A proportional representation system allocates seats in proportion to the number of votes each party or candidate receives, which helps ensure that diverse and minority groups are represented fairly. It is particularly effective in reflecting the heterogeneity of a population and accommodating various political and ethnic groups.
