However, the distribution of seats being calculated at national level, districts serve only to choose the single candidates inside the party lists.

For the Provincial elections, a special system is used, based on ''localized lists'': even if the competition is disputed on provincial level, candidates are presented in single-member districts, and their final position inside each party list depends by the percentage of votes they received in their own districts. Finally, for the Communal elections no districts are used. Electoral ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Secretaries Of The Christian Democracy (Italy)
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole". Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009).
