person votes cast for the candidate. Ballot papers on which
It provided special person voices organized in groups after
party name. It then counts the number of votes for each
the candidate of the group. A candidate's personal votes equal
with the number of personal votes received for the candidate during
the same party name. The candidate with the most personal
number of votes takes first place in the order, which has the second largest
taking second place and so on according to the same
basis. Law (2010:1416).
section 10 cannot be a sufficient number of members are appointed on the
the basis of a personal number of votes, shall order
among the remaining candidates shall be determined by benchmarking
is calculated as follows.
At first the computation comes a ballot for the candidate
is first on the slip, in which case ignored candidates who already
taken place. Ballots with the same first candidate forms a
Group. Each group's votes are calculated. The votes are equal
with the number of ballot papers that are part of the group. The same number is also
comparative figures for the candidate who is first on the Group's
ballot papers. The candidate whose comparative is greatest, the
first place in the order.
With each successive calculation applies a ballot paper for the
candidate who is first on the slip, but it ignores the
candidates who already have a place in the order. The
groups, whose ballots at the preceding computation
applied to the candidate who got the place in the order, cease to exist
and arranged in new groups so that ballots as in the ongoing
the computation of a single candidate form a group.

or the total number of votes cast for those groups whose
ballots are applicable to the candidate. Comparison rate for a
the candidate is equal to the number of votes of the candidate, if not the Group of
ballots that are applicable to the candidate participated in the filling of
a distributed location. If this is the case, to get the candidate's
comparison speech by the candidate's number of votes is divided by the number
that is equivalent to the Group taken in filling of site
or sites awarded (the platstal), increased by 1,
or, if several groups of ballots that are applicable to the candidate
participated in the filling of previously distributed site, with these
groups ' total platstal, increased by 1. Spot rate for a
the group is calculated by dividing the Group's voting power is shared with the
largest comparative figures at the computation immediately preceding Group
formation. For a candidate who has already stood first on any ballot paper
calculates new platstal only for new ballots.
Fractions resulting from the Division are calculated with 2 decimal places. The
the last decimal digit should not be increased.
The candidate whose comparative is highest, the next location in the
the order.

subparagraph, they shall be organized on the basis of the ballot papers that were valid

pursuant to §§ 9 and 10. In this computation is valid every ballot paper
as a full voice. The votes shall be counted toward the candidate who

the order. Whoever gets the highest number of votes will fit in the
special scheme.
The first paragraph leads to two or more mandate is not

for the party. Cannot call all this mandate
