Article 109
 

Allocation of constituency seats.


The following procedure shall be used to determine how many candidates from each list have been elected in each constituency:    


1.The number of votes cast for each list shall be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The quotients are then recorded for each list.    
2.The list with the highest quotient receives the first constituency seat. That quotient is then eliminated. The list that then has the highest quotient receives the second constituency seat. This procedure continues until as many seats as are to be elected have been allocated, cf. paragraph 2 of Article 9.    
3.If two or more quotients being considered under point 2 are equal, lots shall be drawn to determine their order.
