Line 2: {{merge\|Jefferson method}} The '''d'Hondt method''' or the Jefferson method is a highest averages method for allocating seats ~~in [[party-list proportional representation]]~~. This system favors large parties slightly more than the other popular [[divisor method]], [[Sainte-Laguë method\|Sainte-Laguë]], does. The method described is named in the United States after Thomas Jefferson, who introduced the method for proportional allocation of seats in the United States House of Representatives in 1792, and in Europe after Belgian mathematician Victor D'Hondt, who described the methodology in 1878. It is used in: Argentina, Austria, Bulgaria, Chile, Denmark (for local elections), Finland, Israel, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Spain, as well as elections to the European Parliament in some countries. The method is named after Belgian mathematician [[Victor d'Hondt]].
