Provisional seat distribution
To determine the seat distribution, a so-called electoral quotient is used. This is the number of votes cast (for a party) divided by the total number of seats on the municipal council. In this case, that is 4,520 divided by 13 = 347.69. This is the number of votes a party needs for a full seat. The remaining seats are allocated using the largest remainder method. Only parties that have achieved at least 75% of the electoral quotient are eligible for a remainder seat.
