Summary
The Albanian population consists of 50.1% women (INSTAT, 2019). Women and men are interdependent, but they are socialized in different ways and often operate in different social spheres. This, in turn, limits women's access to social resources and benefits such as schools and training, which can open up new opportunities for living and income It affects mostly the participation of women in the decision-making process. The democratic pluralist regime offers a low turnout of 11 women against 144 men in 1997 and 10 women against 130 men in 2005 (Parlament.al 2021) For this reason, a major stimulus for women's involvement in politics has been provided by electoral law as an important element in guaranteeing constitutional rights and freedoms and providing equality in elections and solutions. Discussions about increasing women's participation in politics and decision-making were focused on the importance of applying the gender quota system, a system that is directly affected by „the electoral system‟
