Article 5
 

If a party on the distribution of the permanent constituency seats has obtained more seats than are necessary for it to be proportionally represented in the Riksdag, the party and the seats it has obtained shall be ignored when distributing the adjustment seats. This also applies for a party and the seats
that the party obtained, if it obtained less than 4 per cent of the votes in Sweden.


Of the adjustment seats that a party has obtained, the first is added for the constituency where the party after the distribution of the permanent constituency seats has a greater comparative number than in other constituencies. The remaining seats are added one after the other for the constituency where the party for each time has the greatest comparative number upon the continued application of the  adjusted odd-number method on the party’s number of votes in the constituencies. However, in a constituency where the party has not obtained any permanent constituency seat the
comparative number, when allocating the first seat, shall be equivalent to the party’s number of votes.
