If, in the distribution of the permanent constituency seats under Sections 3, 4a and 4b, a party has received as many seats as necessary for it to be proportionally represented in the Riksdag, the party and the seats it has received shall be disregarded when distributing the adjustment seats. This also applies for a party and the seats that the party has received if it obtained less than 4 per cent of the votes in Sweden.

Of the adjustment seats that a party has received, the first is added for the constituency where, after the distribution of the permanent constituency seats, the party has a greater comparative number than in other constituencies. The remaining seats are added one after the other for the constituency where the party has the greatest comparative number for each round of the continued application of the adjusted odd-number method to 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.
