This sum of votes is divided by the number of seats allocated to the federal electoral district. The result is the first electoral private. The number of votes obtained by each federal list of candidates participating in the distribution of deputy mandates is then divided into the first electoral private. The number of deputy mandates received as a result of dividing the number received is the corresponding federal list of candidates. If, after the actions taken in accordance with Part Two of this Article, undistributed mandates remain, secondary distribution shall be made. Unassigned mandates shall be given to one federal list of candidates having the largest fractional part (balance) of the number resulting from the division in accordance with Part Two of this Article. In the case of equality of fractional parts, the advantage is given to the federal list of candidates for which more votes are cast. With equal numbers of voters, the advantage is given to the federal list of candidates registered earlier. If the federal list is divided into regional groups, then the distribution of the mandates within the federal list is made between these groups and the candidates who are not included in any of the groups (if any).

The mandate of the candidates is first and first of all. The remaining non-allocated seats within the federal list of candidates are distributed among the regional groups.
