Highest Average Method
A highest-averages method, also called a divisor method, is a class of methods for allocating seats in a parliament among agents such as Political party, political parties or federal states. A divisor method is an iterative method: at each iteration, the number of votes of each party is divided by its ''divisor'', which is a function of the number of seats (initially 0) currently allocated to that party. The next seat is allocated to the party whose resulting ratio is largest. Definitions The inputs to a divisor method are the number of seats to allocate, denoted by ''h'', and the vector of parties' entitlements, where the entitlement of party i is denoted by t_i (a number between 0 and 1 determining the fraction of seats to which i is entitled). Assuming all votes are counted, t_i is simply the number of votes received by i, divided by the total number of votes. Procedural definition A divisor method is parametrized by a function d(k), mapping each integer k to a real numb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Closed List
Closed list describes the variant of party-list systems where voters can effectively only vote for political parties as a whole; thus they have no influence on the party-supplied order in which party candidates are elected. If voters had some influence, that would be called an open list. Closed list systems are still commonly used in party-list proportional representation, and most mixed electoral systems also use closed lists in their party list component. Many countries, however have changed their electoral systems to use open lists to incorporate personalised representation to their proportional systems. In closed list systems, each political party has pre-decided who will receive the seats allocated to that party in the elections, so that the candidates positioned highest on this list tend to always get a seat in the parliament while the candidates positioned very low on the closed list will not. However, the candidates "at the water mark" of a given party are in the position ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
