German-speaking electoral college
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The constituency within Belgium.
The German-speaking electoral college is a constituency of the European Parliament. It currently elects 1 MEP using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.
This is the European Parliament's smallest constituency, with an electorate at the 2004 election of just 46,914. Since the German-speaking electoral college elects only one member, the winner is effectively chosen by the first past the post method. This makes it the only European Parliament constituency without proportional representation.
