D'Hondt method: Difference between revisions

Line 15:
* ''V'' is the total number of votes that party received, and
* ''s'' is the number of seats that party has been allocated so far, initially 0 for all parties.
Whichever list has the highest quotient gets the next seat allocated, and their quotient is recalculated given their new seat total. The process is repeated until all seats have been allocated.
 
The order in which seats allocated to a list are then allocated to individuals on the list is irrelevant to the allocation procedure. It may be internal to the party (a [[closed list]] system) or the voters may have influence over it through various methods (an [[open list]] system).
