Article 48
 

Determination of the Number of Deputies Elected in Election Regions


(1) Using the voting results of individual election districts and special election districts provided by designated local authorities in compliance with Article 43, the Czech Statistical Office shall determine the overall amount of valid votes given to all political parties, movements and coalitions in all election regions and divide it by the number of deputies. The result, rounded to whole units, is the national mandate number.


(2) The overall amount of valid votes cast in every election region shall be divided by the national mandate number. The result determines the amount of mandates allocated to individual election regions.


(3) If all mandates are not allocated in the aforementioned way, the remaining mandates shall be allocated to those election regions showing the largest remainders in descending order. Should any two or more election regions show the same remainders, the election region(s) to receive the remaining mandate(s) shall be drawn.
