• 1. The distribution of the seats allocated to a group of lists among the lists that make up the group is as follows.

• 2. The central electoral committee divides the number of votes for the group of lists by the number of seats allocated to the group.

• 3. The quotient thus obtained is called the group quota.

• 4. One of the seats allocated to the group is allocated to that list as many times as the group quota is included in the number of votes for each of the lists that make up the group.

• 5. The remaining seats are allocated successively to the lists of the group whose votes, when divided by the group quota, have the largest surplus. Lists that do not have a surplus are considered to have the smallest surplus. If the surpluses are equal, lots will decide, if necessary.
