GREEK REPUBLIC LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS OF 6 MAY 2012 ========================================================================= Elections to the Voule ton Ellenikon (Parliament of the Greeks) Source: Interior Ministry website Greek electoral law allocates a bonus of 50 seats to the party winning a plurality of votes. This involves some distortion of the proportionality of the result. Parties must poll 3% of the national vote to gain representation. Votes and seats are compared with those gained in the 2009 elections.
