This research, which was developed in the Faculty of Law, says that the new electoral system introduced with the reform, "facilitating access to obtaining seat to political groups with less electoral support."
According to the author of the thesis, "it is expected that greater capillarity of the Regional Assembly and a greater plurality of forces represented is achieved".
