A combined list as referred to in section I 10 shall, for the purposes of determining the number of seats to be allocated to it, be treated as a single list with a total vote equal to the sum of the total votes cast for the lists comprising the combination.
A combined list shall be taken into account only if at least two of the lists merged would have been allocated a seat if no combined list had been formed. Merged lists which would not have been awarded a seat individually shall not be deemed to form part of the combined list.
