The indicator shows whether the national constitution or an equivalent legal framework explicitly gives women and men equal rights to stand for election to parliament.
In some cases, the reference to gender equality is directly made in relation to politics and/or public life, while in others the reference to gender is made first as a universal equality for citizens, all of whom are then given equal right to participate in politics. General references to equality that do not explicitly reference gender are not taken into account
