EC unveils method for sharing remaining party-list seats after distribution among parties

27 Sept 04:12 Key points summarised by AI

The Election Commission (EC) has unveiled a new method for allocating remaining party-list seats after the initial distribution of 100 seats.
This method addresses the issue of parties having leftover votes that do not meet the threshold for a full seat.
Parties with the largest number of remaining votes will sequentially receive extra seats until all 100 party-list seats are filled.
In the event of a tie in remaining votes between two parties, the allocation of the extra seat will be decided by drawing lots.
