(1) The Republic Electoral Commission shall distribute the mandates by applying the system of the largest quotient.

(2) The mandates shall be distributed by dividing the total number of votes won by each individual electoral list by the numbers ranging from one to 250, inclusive.

(3) The quotients thus achieved shall be sorted by size, and 250 largest quotients shall be taken into account. Each electoral list shall be assigned the number of mandates that corresponds to the number of quotients assorted to the list concerned.

(4) If two or more electoral lists obtain the same quotient on the basis of which one mandate is to be assigned and there are no more unassigned mandates, the mandate shall be assigned to the list with the largest number of votes won.

(5) If none of the electoral lists has won at least 3% of votes, the distribution shall be performed in the manner specified in paragraphs 1-3 of this Article.
