Allocation of the seats at large to the parties and constituencies at parliamentary elections

(1) The National Electoral Committee shall perform the determination of the election result for the distribution of the seats at large on the basis of the transcripts that are sent in from the County Electoral Committees.

(2) The National Electoral Committee allocates the seats at large to the parties in accordance with Article 59 of the Constitution. If two or more parties have the same quotient, the seat goes to the party with the largest number of votes. If they have the same number of votes, the party to which the seat is to go is determined by lot.

(3) The National Electoral Committee allocates the parties' seats at large with one for each constituency , in the following manner:

a) For each constituency and for each party that has won at least one seat at large, the party's total vote polled in the constituency is taken as a starting point. If the party has not won any constituency seat, the party's total vote polled in the constituency shall be taken as a basis. If the party has won a constituency seat, the party's total vote polled shall be divided by a number that is one more than twice the number of constituency seats the party has won in the constituency. The party's total vote polled or the quotients arrived at are divided by the average number of votes per constituency seat in the constituency in question.

b) The quotients arrived at for all constituencies and for all parties that have won at least one seat at large are arranged in order according to size. If two or more quotients are of equal size, the number of votes in the constituencies in question is decisive. In the event of an equality of votes the order is determined by lot.

c) Seat at large No. 1 is allocated to that party and that constituency which after the calculation above has the largest quotient. Seat at large No. 2 is allocated to that party and that constituency which has the second largest quotient and so forth.

d) When a constituency has been allocated a seat at large, that constituency is disregarded in the further calculations. When a party has won the number of seats at large it shall have in accordance with the distribution pursuant to subsection (2) above, that party is disregarded in the further calculations. The distribution continues for the remaining constituencies and the remaining parties until all the seats at large have been allocated.
