  • The homogeneity of the regulations governing the electoral systems of autonomous communities derives from their desire to imitate the system adopted for the Spanish Chamber of Deputies, and from their decision to look to countries with multi- level political structures for inspiration. This paper puts forward the hypothesis that the electoral system in communities which form part of the endogenous party system model built up over the last thirty years has been remarkably effective.
