The Republic Electoral Commission shall apportion mandates by applying the system of largest quotient.
The mandates shall be apportioned by dividing the total number of votes received by each separate electoral list by numbers from one to 250 inclusive.
The quotients thus arrived at are sorted by size, and the 250 largest quotients are taken into account. Each electoral list is apportioned a number of mandates correspondent to the number of quotients of this kind it has.
If two or more electoral lists get the same quotient on the basis of which a mandate is to be apportioned, and there are no more mandates to be apportioned, the mandate shall be apportioned to that list which has received the overall largest number of votes.
If none of the electoral lists has gathered at least 5% of the votes, apportioning shall be performed in the manner as described in paragraphs 1 through 3 of this Article.
