Line 1:
The '''d'Hondt method''' is a method for allocating seats in [[party-list proportional representation]]. [[Argentina]], [[Austria]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Chile]], [[Finland]], [[Israel]], [[the Netherlands]], [[Poland]], [[Portugal]] and [[Spain]] are among the places that use this allocation system, as do [[European Parliament election, 2004|elections to the European Parliament]] in some countries. This system favors large parties slightly more than the other popular [[divisor method]], [[Sainte-Laguë method|Sainte-Laguë]], does. The method is named after [[Belgium|Belgian]] mathematician [[Victor d'Hondt]].

Line 108 ⟶ 110:
Some systems allow parties to associate their lists together into a single ''cartel'' in order to overcome the threshold, while some systems set a separate threshold for cartels. Smaller parties often form pre-election [[coalition]]s to make sure they get past the election threshold.
