Which mathematical seat-allocation divisor formula was enacted under Law No. 7/2017 to convert popular vote tallies into parliamentary seats in the DPR and DPRD?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Sainte-Laguë Method (Divisors: 1, 3, 5, 7, ...)
- Step 1: Law No. 7/2017 replaced the previous Hare Quota method with the Sainte-Laguë method. Step 2. Valid votes for eligible parties in each electoral district (Dapil) are divided sequentially by odd integers (1, 3, 5, 7, ...) to assign seats to the highest quotients. Answer: Sainte-Laguë Method (Divisors: 1, 3, 5, 7, ...). Why not the others: D'Hondt uses consecutive integer divisors; Hare uses the simple quota remainder.
