The Icelandic voting system aims to blend proportional representation with geographic distribution while enabling faction representation based on party votes. However, while it strives for balance, it has its shortcomings as acknowledged in the commentary. Discussions raised the possibility of expanding representation criteria beyond two parties to include ethnic/religious groups or even more demographic variables such as age and income, leading to concerns about voter anonymity and legislative functionality. Moreover, it was highlighted that the U.S. Congress does not necessitate congressional districts, suggesting potential shifts in representation models. The system's complexities, such as the need for educated voters to understand voting axioms, spark curiosity about the implications of education on voting rights and processes. Contrarily, existing drawbacks of proportional representation—like potential legislative idiosyncrasies—remain concerning for citizens.
