Romanian Ethnic Minority Parties
The Romanian Constitution (Article 62), under the conditions imposed by the Electoral Law, provides seats in the Chamber of Deputies for the party and cultural association of ethnic minorities in Romania (with the limitation that each national minority is to be represented by one organization only). Minority parties and associations are exempt from the electoral threshold, and are guaranteed a seat so long as they earn at least 10% of the vote that was required for the last party eligible to earn a seat through the threshold. The minority parties and associations are aligned within the National Minority Parliamentary Group () in the Chamber of Deputies, and traditionally, these groups support the government in power.
