Sainte-Lagu?method

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia

The Sainte-Lagu?method of the highest average (also known as Webster's method or divisor method with standard rounding) is one way of allocating seats proportionally for representative assemblies with party list voting systems. It is named after French mathematician d'Hondt method, although without the latter's favoritism for larger parties.

The Sainte-Lagu?method is used in New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bremen.
