The indicator shows the numbers of women and men amongst candidates at the last political election.
For Member States with a bicameral parliamentary system, the dataset shows two data points: one for the lower house (denoted “Lower house or single house”) and one for the upper house (denoted as “Upper house”). For Member States with a unicameral parliamentary system, the dataset shows only one value denoted “Lower house or single house”.
