Parliamentary vote is the form of voting used by parliamentary democracies, which are most countries worldwide. Parliamentary democracy is based on a system of government where the head of state, usually the monarch or governor general in the case of Commonwealth nations like the United Kingdom and New Zealand, is ceremonial, and the legislative power is held by an elected assembly. This assembly may be bicameral, with two chambers, or unicameral, with one chamber. A parliamentary constitution usually establishes the procedure for electing members of parliament (MPs) and how their work is structured.
Generally, in a parliamentary democracy, the leader of the majority political party is appointed as prime minister by the president and forms a cabinet to govern the country. The cabinet must gain a vote of confidence from the parliament in order to remain in office. In Albania, the President nominates the candidate chosen by the party or coalition which holds a majority in the parliament to become the Prime Minister. This is then approved by the Parliament within 10 days.
MPs are elected either in constituencies or by using a party list system where the voters mark a cross next to their preferred party, and the parties receive seats in proportion to the number of votes they get. In both systems, the MPs are elected for a fixed term of four years, although they can be replaced with another candidate by their constituents at any time before the end of their term.
