Electoral system
----------------

The 423 seats of the [National Constituent Assembly](/wiki/Weimar_National_Assembly "Weimar National Assembly") were set to be elected in 38 multi\-member constituencies of between six and 17 seats using [party\-list proportional representation](/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation "Party-list proportional representation"). Two seats were reserved for representatives of standing troops in the east of the country. [Apparentment](/wiki/Apparentment "Apparentment") was also in effect, allowing parties to form coalitions in constituencies, using one common list (although a party could only win seats if it put forward candidates in those constituencies). The [voting age](/wiki/Voting_age "Voting age") was set at 20\.


Is apparentment used in the electoral system?
