==Example==
As a simple example, if there are 2 seats to be filled, with Party A having 300 votes and Party B having 290 votes, then Party A wins the first seat, with their new vote total becoming 150 votes (calculated as 300/((1)+1) = 300/2). This means Party A now has 150 votes and Party B has 290 votes, so Party B wins the second seat, and the procedure is over.
A larger example (<font color="#FF0000">red</font> indicates that party won a seat in that round because it had the most votes of any party in that round; this table can be thought of as going in "rounds", with the first round showing how many votes each party had, and each successive round showing how many votes each party had after applying the D'Hondt procedure):<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
