Electoral system

Each party or coalition must present a list of candidates. The lists are closed and the seats in each municipality are apportioned according to the D'Hondt method. Unlike in national legislative elections, independent lists are allowed to run.{{Cite web|title=::: Lei n.º 169/99, de 18 de Setembro|url=https://www.pgdlisboa.pt/leis/lei_mostra_articulado.php?nid=592&tabela=leis&so_miolo=|access-date=2022-02-12|website=www.pgdlisboa.pt}}
