Summary: This article aims to analyze the electoral system of the Congress of Deputies from the point of view of their constitutional principles. The first part of this paper refers to the representation, the proportionality, the integration, the governability, the expression of the political pluralism and the equality of vote. The second part analyzes the possible repercussions of those same principles in the recent reform proposal of the electoral system of the Congress of Deputies. We therefore observe that the discussion of the electoral system must be a constant in democracy and that we must look for a more politically viable solution that can achieve the highest possible level of those the exposed principles.
