=== Countries with MMP === The following countries currently have MMP representation. Countries which nominally use or have used MMP, but in practice had highly disproportional representation or it as otherwise not implemented are discussed in the next section. {| class="wikitable" !Country !Legislative body !Use !Number of votes (personal and list) !Notes |- |'''{{Flagicon|Bolivia}}''' '''[[Elections in Bolivia|Bolivia]]''' |[[Chamber of Deputies (Bolivia)|Chamber of Deputies]] |1994–present |Two votes |The list ballots use a [[double simultaneous vote|double (triple) simultaneous vote]] with the presidential and Senate election,{{sfnm |1a1=Mayorga |1y=1997 |2a1=Mayorga |2y=2001 |2p=194}} which is presumed to decrease tactical manipulation despite the separate candidate and list vote{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}. The latest elections had a highly proportional result. |- |'''{{Flagicon|Germany}}''' '''[[Elections in Germany|Germany]]''' |[[State parliaments of Germany|State parliaments]], except * '''{{Flagicon|Bremen}}''' [[Bremen (state)|Bremen]], * '''{{Flagicon|Hamburg}}''' [[Hamburg]] * '''{{Flagicon|Saarland}}''' [[Saarland]] |''varies by state'' |''varies by state'' |[[Bavaria]] uniquely uses an [[Open list|open-list]] system for its party-list seats.

It was first used in an [[1996 New Zealand general election|election in 1996]]. The system's use was [[2011 New Zealand voting system referendum|reviewed by referendum]] in November 2011, with the majority (56.17%) voting to keep it. In [[2020 New Zealand general election|2020 general election]], the Labour Party won 65 out of 120 seats, becoming the first party under MMP to receive a majority. Though not all overhang seats are perfectly compensated for, New Zealand is widely considered to be a typical example of mixed-member proportional representation due to the high proportionality of the system (disregarding the electoral threshold). |- | rowspan="2" |'''{{Flagicon|United Kingdom}}''' '''[[Elections in the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]]''' |'''{{Flagicon|Scotland}}''' '''[[Elections in Scotland|Scotland]]''' - [[Scottish Parliament]] |1999–present |Two votes<ref name="ers-ams-explainer">{{cite web |title=Additional Member System |url=https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/voting-systems/types-of-voting-system/additional-member-system/ |access-date=31 May 2024 |website=www.electoral-reform.org.uk}}</ref> |Referred to as the [[Additional Member System (UK)|additional member system]].
