Electoral system Tuscany uses its own legislation of 2004 to elect its Council. The councillors are elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation using the largest remainder method with a Droop quota and close lists. In this system parties are grouped in alliances, and the alliance which receives a plurality of votes elects all its candidates, its leader becoming the President of Tuscany. Council apportionment According to the official 2001 Italian census, the 33 Council seats which must be covered by proportional representation are so distributed between Tuscan provinces; the highest number of candidates in each list by province is this:  AR   FI   GR   LI   LU   MS   PI   PT   PO   SI  6 17 4 6 7 3 7 5 4 4 The allocation is fixed.

The consequent division of these seats at provincial level usually change the original apportionment.
