At present, a bonus of 50 seats is offered to the party that wins the most votes in a national election, irrespective of how thin or wide the margin of victory is.The law also lowers the voting age by a year to 17, a move the Interior Ministry says will 'sharpen democratic reflexes' among youngsters.The vote is expected to take place late in the evening.
