List seats refer to the seats in parliament that are filled through a party-list proportional representation electoral system. In this system, parties make lists of candidates to be elected, and seats are distributed by election authorities to each party in proportion to the number of votes the party receives. Voters may vote for the party, as in Spain, Turkey, and Israel; or for candidates whose vote total will pool to the parties, as in Finland, Brazil, and the Netherlands; or a choice between the last two ways stated: panachage. In most party list systems, a voter may only vote for one party (single choice ballot) with their list vote, although ranked ballots may also be used (spare vote) . Open list systems may allow more than one preference vote within a party list (votes for candidates are called preference votes - not to be confused with the other meaning of preferential voting as in ranked-choice voting) . Some systems allow voters to vote for candidates on multiple lists, this is called panachage. The order in which a partys list candidates get elected may be predetermined by some method internal to the party or the candidates (a closed list system) or it may be determined by the voters (an open list system) .
