Distribution of Congress seats
The number of the elected Congress members of each party is announced after the election review has ended, that is on 27th of each month. The following example shows how Congress seats are distributed:
Let's say a country can elect 40 Congressmen. That means a party needs to get at least 100 / 40 = 2.5% of the total votes in order to elect at least 1 Congressman. If the division of the party's percentage by the 2.5% returns a decimal number, the integer part only is considered. To be precise:
- Party A with 26.74% : 26.74 / 2.5 = 10.696, which means 10 Congress men
- Party B with 22.28% : 22.28 / 2.5 = 8.912, which means 8 Congress men
- Party C with 17.55% : 17.55 / 2.5 = 7.02, which means 7 Congress men
- Party D with 16.71% : 16.71 / 2.5 = 6.684, which means 6 Congress men
- Party E with 16.71% : 16.71 / 2.5 = 6.684, which means 6 Congress men
But 10 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 6 = 37 Congressmen out of the 40, so that means there are 3 Congress seats left. Those 3 seats are given to the parties which are closer to the next integer, in the case above, parties B, A and D respectively.
In case of ties, such as with the parties D and E, the additional Congress seat goes to the party with the most members.
Note: The numbers of the above example would occur only if all parties have enough candidates to fill in all 40 seats. It could happen that there are less than 40 candidates on the elections, let's say that there are only 37 candidates from the parties mentioned above. The remaining 3 seats are going to stay unfilled in that situation.
