The 2020 Lyteran general election was the first general election to be held in Lyteran history. The general election was held on Saturday 4 April 2020.
The parliament was elected via the D'Hondt's method where the votes of only those political parties that receive at least a threshold percentage of the valid votes are taken into account. For the Lyteran Election, this threshold was 10% of the vote (or roughly 3 people voting for you)
