== Hagenbach-Bischoff quota ==
▲The "Hagenbach-Bischoff quota" ("HB quota") (known by a few other names as well) is:
<math>\left( \frac{\text{total valid poll}}{ \text{seats}+1 } \right)</math>
Some sources call the HB Quota a Droop Quota instead, since the formula is almost identical, and is sometimes considered just another formula in the list of formulas that can used to calculate the Droop Quota. There will always be exactly one more HB quota than seats to be filled. Because of this, it will on rare occasion be necessary to break a tie between various candidates to decide who should win with PR methods that use the HB quota.
When there are 5 seats to be filled and 100 votes cast, the HB quota is (100/(5+1)) = '''~16.667''' votes.
