- The first thing that is done is to eliminate the parties that do not reach the minimum required votes (in the Valencian elections it is 5%, in the Spanish elections it is 3%)
- Then you must divide the number of votes for each party by the number of seats/councillors to be distributed. See Table :
Total valid votes: 10518 votes
Partit A : 4500 vots / 42%
Partit B : 3467 vots / 33%
Partit C : 1230 vots / 11,7%
Partit D : 976 vots / 9,2%
Partit E : 345 / 3,28%
If any party had LESS participation than indicated, it would be left out of the distribution of seats/councillors.
In this case, they are all above 3% and, unless we are told otherwise, they all have the right to participate in the distribution. In this case, we are going to distribute 8 councilors. Let's prepare the table:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
A 4500 2250 1500 ......
B 3467 1733.....
