Lowndes method

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 methods, no party can get more than one remaining seat. No country currently uses this method to allocate its seats.
