Lowndes method: Difference between revisions

'''Lowndes method''' is a apportionment method for proportional representation, first proposed by South Carolina representative William Lowndes in 1822. In this method, states or parties are divided by [[Hare quota]], and then the remaining seats to the states/parties that have the highest seat to inhabitant ratio. Similarly to [[Largest remainder method|largest remainder methods]], no party can get more than one remaining seat. No country currently uses this method to allocate its seats.
