Spanish term or phrase: tramo
"Los votos de la circunscripción proporcional se van directamente al tramo más amplio, no se pierden y recomponen la proporcionalidad curules-votos".

"el cociente electoral se calcula por la región, la agregación de departamentos, y se aplica el 50% de este para acceder a representación en cualquier tramo".

"En el tramo proporcional los votos que no elijan efectivamente a un senador en el DUN se llevarían a una circunscripción nacional".

¡Les agradezco si conocen el término exacto!

Mil gracias!
