§ Article 90Counting of the Rating of Candidates for Seimas Member and

Establishment of the Final Order of Succession of the Lists
1. The Central Electoral Committee shall calculate the rating of candidates for Seimas member and shall establish a final order succession of the lists in accordance with the opinion expressed by voters and preference votes cast.
2. At first preference votes cast for each candidate in single-member constituencies shall be summed up and the sum total of all the preference votes for each candidate shall be calculated. In the event when the sum total of the candidate’s preference votes is bigger than the number of Seimas members who are being elected in the multi-member constituency or such sum is equal to the said number, election rating of the candidate shall be equal to that sum, if it is smaller - election rating of the candidate shall be considered to be equal to zero.
3. Then the points of the rating received by each candidate for Seimas member shall be calculated. They shall be equal to the product of two numbers - election rating (the first factor) and party’s rating (the second factor). Election rating shall be an integer number which is established by the Central Electoral Committee for each candidate in accordance with election numbers of the candidates in such a way that party’s rating of the candidate who has the first election number would be 20 times higher than party’s rating of the candidate who has the last election number on this list of candidates, and the difference of party’s ratings of the candidates from the list whose election number differs by one digit, would be equal to 19. Party’s rating of the candidate who is the last on the list, which is determined in such a way, shall be lower by one digit than the number of candidates on this list, and party’s rating of the candidate who is the first on the list shall be 20 times higher than party’s rating of the candidate who is the last on the list.
4. The final order of candidates for Seimas member on the lists shall be established according the points of the rating received by each candidate. The first written down in the succession shall be the candidate who have received more points of the rating. In the event that several candidates receive the equal amount of the rating points, then the first written down shall be the candidate whose election rating is higher. If the election ratings and candidates’ ratings are also equal, then the first written down shall be the candidate whose party’s rating is higher.
5. The final succession of the lists of candidates for Seimas member shall be announced by the Central Electoral Committee on the same day as the results of voting in single-member constituencies.
