Paragraph 26
 

Article 90(3) first provides, for the proportional representation component, for the rounding of the number of seats to be allocated to lists passing the threshold to the entire number nearest to the quota. While, according to Article 90(4), regardless of the size of the remainder, the rest of the seats are allocated on a seat by seat basis to political parties that overcame the threshold, according to their number of votes, in decreasing order. These provisions – which are not new - could have unexpected results. This allocation formula could be reconsidered.
