The Election Commission shall calculate the total results of the voting in the municipality.

The Election Commission shall calculate the voting results based on the minutes of the results summed up by the Electoral Boards and the entire election material.

The Election Commission shall establish the results according to the votes won by each individual list of candidates for council members, based on the summarized results of the Electoral Boards.

When establishing the election results, the D`Hondt’s formula shall be applied.

Having established the total number of votes cast for each list of candidates (so called electorate), each individual list is divided by the sequence of divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., until the number of council members elected in the municipality and the City of Skopje.

The quotients of the division, referred to in paragraph 5 of this Article, are classified by size, whereby as many of the largest quotients as there are council members elected shall be relevant.

A list of candidates for council members shall obtain as many council seats as there are largest quotients out of the number of quotients referred to in paragraph 6 of this Article.

In the case that for the last council seat, two identical quotients appear to exist, the mandate shall be allotted by drawing lots.

When allocating council seats, as many candidates as seats won by the list, shall be considered elected.

Candidates are elected from the list of candidates for council members according to the established order.
