The Hagenbach-Bischoff method is equivalent to, and is a faster way of doing D'Hondt: It works by first assigning each party as many seats as they have [[Hagenbach-Bischoff quota|Hagenbach-Bischoff quotas]], and then running D'Hondt with the recognition of the seats already won by each party.
In some cases, a [[election threshold|threshold]] or ''barrage'' is set, and any list which does not receive that threshold will not have any seats allocated to it, even if it received enough votes to otherwise have been rewarded with a seat. Examples of countries using this threshold are Israel (1.5%) and Belgium (5%, on regional basis).
