The Webster/Sainte-Laguë Method is a [[Highest averages method]] used for allocating seats [[Proportionate representation | proportionally]] for representative assemblies with [[Party-list proportional representation|party list]] [[voting systems]]. It works like [[D'Hondt method]], except that you use divisors 1, 3, 5, 7, ... instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, ... |

In the modified Sainte-Laguë method, the first divisor is modified to 1.4. The sequence of divisors is then 1.4, 3, 5, 7, ... The modified Sainte-Laguë method is used for elections to the Danish parliament. |
