small detail for the average citizen an outside, or how divided the votes cast in the election (the d'Hondt method). I quote from Wikipedia, because it is impossible to say "normal language" ;-)
"The method consists of finding the largest consecutive quotients number of votes obtained. The division is done by dividing the number of votes attached to each committee by successive natural numbers, and then with the so-calculated ratios for all committees, be elected as many as there are seats to be filled.
When several committees received the same ratios Various methods are used additional scheduling. In Poland, was chosen as follows - if the number of lists obtained ratios equal to the last figure of the numbers ranked in this manner, a list of these are more than seats to be allocated, priority is given to the list in order of total number of votes cast on them. If two or more lists of equal number of votes were cast, of the primacy of the vote decide the number of circuits in which, given a list of more votes were cast.
example.
We committees A, B and C, which in turn received 720, 300 and 480 votes, to fill the eight seats.
Step 1: computation of ratios
| divider | A | Committee Committee Committee | B C |
|---|---|---|---|
| a | 720 (first mandate) | 300 (fourth) | 480 ( second) |
| 2 | 360 (third) | 150 240 (sixth) | |
| 3 | 240 (fifth) | 100 | 160 (eighth) |
| 4 | 180 (seventh) | 75 | 120 |
| 5 | 144 60 96 |
Step 2: placement of quotients in descending order (in parentheses committee):
- ( A) - 720
- (C) - 480
- (A) - 360
- (B) - 300
- (A) - 240
- (C) - 240
- (A) - 180
- (C ) - 160
etc. Therefore, it is to be allocated 8 seats, 4 seats replaced by a committee A (ratios of 720, 360, 240 and 180), a mandate - Committee B (ratio of 300) and 3 seats - the committee C (ratios of 480, 240 and 160). "
