Art. 41 Additional allocations 80

1 Where 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.

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

BGE

138 II 5 (1C_520/2011) from 23. November 2011
Regeste: a Art. 16 ff. und 77 Abs. 1 lit. c BPR, Art. 34 BV; Anspruch auf Nachzählung im Falle von Stimmengleichheit anlässlich der Wahl des Nationalrats im Proporzverfahren. Die in BGE 136 II 132 begründete Rechtsprechung, wonach ein sehr knappes Ergebnis in einer eidgenössischen Volksabstimmung eine "Unregelmässigkeit" im Sinne von Art. 77 Abs. 1 lit. b BPR darstellt und Anspruch auf eine Nachzählung einräumt, ist auf die Wahl des Nationalrats im Proporzverfahren nicht anwendbar (Art. 77 Abs. 1 lit. c BPR), weil das Verfahren von Dringlichkeit geprägt und im Einzelnen vom BPR detailliert geordnet wird (E. 2 und 3).
