Federal Act on Political Rights

¹Where not all of the man­dates have been al­loc­ated, the man­dates re­main­ing shall be al­loc­ated in­di­vidu­ally and one after the oth­er ac­cord­ing to the fol­low­ing rules:

a.

the num­ber of votes cast in fa­vour of each elect­or­al list is di­vided by a num­ber equi­val­ent to the num­ber of man­dates already al­loc­ated to that list plus one.

b.

the next man­date is al­loc­ated to the elect­or­al list that has the largest quo­tient.

c.

if more than one list is en­titled to the next man­date as they have the same quo­tient, then the next man­date is al­loc­ated to the list that achieved the highest re­mainder in the di­vi­sion ac­cord­ing to Art­icle 40 para­graph 2.

d.

if there are still two or more lists with the same right to the man­date, the man­date goes to the list that has ob­tained the highest num­ber of party votes.

e.

if more than one list still has the same right to the man­date, the first man­date is al­loc­ated to the list whose can­did­ate for the man­date has ob­tained the highest num­ber of votes.

f.

if more than one can­did­ate has ob­tained the same highest num­ber of votes, the man­date is al­loc­ated by draw­ing lots.

²This pro­ced­ure is re­peated un­til all the man­dates have been al­loc­ated.
