تطور النظام الانتخابي في الجزائر

Abstract EN

One cannot discuss the electoral system, of a particular political system, without addressing its general philosophy and main orientations, as they represent the main guarantee and the basis on which a democratic state can be built, on constitutional and legal grounds, that meets international standards.

That is exactly what led to an increasing interest in the study of electoral systems, in order to select the best, wisest, most representative and fairest system.

Similarly to many other states, Algeria has adopted a series of electoral systems, since establishing a multi-party system, in the early 1990s.

Beginning with a majority system, Algeria later switched to proportional representation system before opting for the hybrid system, in response to the pre-existing conditions and in an attempt to find a formula that would ensure that elections would be synonymous to fairness and transparency.

Therefore, it is necessary today to evaluate this experience, as well as adopt the electoral pattern that is most consistent with the realities of the Algerian society and the country's political and economic conditions, and which can achieve a real democratic system
