Article 129
 

Highest quotient system


Seats shall be distributed by dividing the total number of votes won by an electoral list participating in the distribution of seats by each consecutive number from one to 250.


The quotients thus derived shall be sorted by size, and the number of seats allocated to each electoral list shall be equal to the number of its quotients among 250 highest quotients of all electoral lists participating in the distribution.

If two or more electoral lists get the same quotients based on which a seat should be allocated, the electoral list that has won higher number of votes shall have priority.


If the number of seats due to a certain electoral list is higher than the number of MP candidates it has, the seat that is not allocated to that electoral list shall be allocated to the electoral list having the next highest quotient for which the seat has not been allocated.
