 === Setting the quota===
-When all the votes have been cast, a winning quota is set.  The most common formula for the quota is the [[Droop quota]] which is most often given as:
+When all the votes have been cast, a winning quota is set. In theory the quota can be any number in the range:
-<!-- <math>\left({{\rm votes} \over {\rm seats}+1}\right)+1</math>. -->
+<math>\frac{\text{votes}}{\text{seats} +1} \leq \text{quota} \leq \frac{\text{votes}}{\text{seats} -1} </math>
-floor(votes / (seats + 1)) + 1
-Other quotas used include the [[Hare quota]]:
+In practice, the quota is either the [[Droop quota]] or the [[Hare quota]].
-<!-- <math>\rm votes \over \rm seats</math> -->
-votes / seats
-For those keeping track, the size of the quota is then generally Hare > Droop > Imperiali.
