About: Zipper system

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The zipper system, also known as "vertical parity" or the "zebra system", is a type of gender quota for party lists in proportional representation electoral systems. It requires that parties alternate between women and men on their candidate lists, meaning that 50% of the candidates are women and 50% are men. The zipper method is applied to election laws in many countries in order to achieve equal gender representation in candidates and, potentially, elected members.

dbo:abstract
  • Una llista cremallera és una llista electoral en què homes i dones ocupen llocs alterns (els homes ocupen els llocs imparells i les dones els parells, o a l'inrevés). Així, s'assegura que homes i dones de la llista tindran una representació del 50% o en cas que el nombre de candidats escollits sigui imparell serà el més semblant possible al 50%. La paritat, entesa com un repartiment en què cap gènere tindrà una representació superior al 60% ni inferior al 40% en trams de 5 persones, és obligatòria a les llistes electorals espanyoles des de 2007, quan la va instaurar la Llei orgànica 3/2007, de 22 de març, per a la igualtat efectiva de dones i homes. Al Regne d'Espanya, l'any 2019 el PSOE i Unides Podem van proposar l'obligatorietat de fer llistes cremallera per concórrer a eleccions. (ca)
