Line 75:
For example, if Party A obtained 45% and Party B obtained 25%, these would translate to approximately 0.35 and 0.75 "remainder" quotas respectively. Normalised remainder quotas, instead of raw remainder votes, are employed to control for constituency size and/or turnout effects.
 
The national count centre and TV networks would rank these remainders separately for each party from highest to lowest, including the constituency name, as results become available. As election night develops, these rankings become indicative of those parties which will win thetheir available second seats, and where they will likely win them. As fresh results arrive, they will be "slotted" into the correct order, so the table rankings will continuously change, attracting interest from viewers and commentators.
