The total number of deputies of a party or a party coalition was to be, to the closest possible extent, proportional to the valid votes won by that party or coalition on the national scale in the first round of elections. [[political parties|Parties]] that received less than 2.5% and coalitions that received less than 4% of the valid votes on the national scale in the first round of elections did not benefit from the respective multi-name list. |

The change was criticised by the smaller parties, but supported by the two main parties. It was considered an important step towards Albania's [[European integration]]. Other changes included limiting the prosecutor general's term to five years, forcing an early election in case of a [[no-confidence vote]] and reducing the majority required to elect the president from three-fifths to half the MPs.<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/04/22/europe/EU-POL-Albania-Constitution.php Ex-communist Albania changes voting system in constitutional shake up - International Herald Tribune<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
