Kavalia votes on Sunday in its first election under proportional representation
Voters will choose party lists rather than single candidates for the first time. Analysts expect no party to win a majority, and a coalition government is likely.
Voters in Kavalia go to the polls on Sunday in the country's first parliamentary election under proportional representation, a change that analysts say is likely to produce a coalition government.
Under the old system, each of 150 districts elected one member, and the party with the most seats usually governed alone. Now voters choose a party list in each of eight regions, and seats are shared according to each party's share of the vote, with a five per cent threshold.
