Electoral system For the elections the country was divided into five constituencies, electing a total of 97 MPs using proportional representation. The three remaining seats were awarded to the parties with the highest vote totals that had failed to win a seat in any of the five constituencies.Nohlen & Stöver, p1113
The list system used was made flexible, as voters were able to cross out candidates' names and replace them with names from other lists. However, only 19.97% of voters made any changes to the lists. To register a list for the election parties needed only collect 100 signatures.Nohlen & Stöver, p1105 A total of 88 lists registered, but only 43 contested the election. There was no voter roll, but instead passports were used to identify voters.
