This day, the elections of councillors and members of the Constitutional Convention will be elected under the D’Hondt system, which is defined as a system of a “proportional and inclusive” nature.
The system is in the same way a mathematical form of assignment of positions, in relation to the number of seats to be handed out and the vote obtained by the lists in which the candidates are registered.
For example, for a District or Commune X, four lists are presented to choose from 5 representatives. Regardless of the total number of candidates, the vote obtained by the list must be added.
Assuming, for the example that the vote was:
List A: 104 votes
List B: 77 votes
List C: 63 votes
List D: 35 votes
The new electoral system requires the total votes obtained by the lists to be divided by the total number of positions elected in the district (5). That is, each total must be divided by 1,2,3,4 and 5.
With these results, the 5 places are filled with the highest figures correlatively
List A: 104 votes 104/52/34/26/20
List B: 77 votes 77/38/25/19/14
List C: 63 votes 63/31/21/15/12
List D: 35 votes 35/17/11/8/7
Representative 1: 104 List A
Representative 2: 77 List B
Representative 3: 63 List C
Representative 4: 52 List A
Representative 5: 38 List B
Thus, given the results in District X, List A would obtain 2 representatives, List B another 2 and List C one.
Another way to make the calculation, is after dividing and correlatively filling the 5 quotas, use the figure corresponding to the last quota (in this case 38) as a “delivery figure”, by which the total votes of each list are divided to calculate the number of charges.
List A: 104/38: 2
List B: 77/38: 2
List C: 63/38: 1
List D: 35/38: 0
