What is the Closed Party List?

Voters vote for the party and therefore the list as a whole. Candidates are elected in the order they appear on the list (as decided by the party) until all the seats have been filled.

Voters choose individual candidates from the list provided by each party and individual candidates are elected according to the popular vote.

This gives voters some influence over who is elected, but most of the candidates will be elected in list order.
