Counting of Member of Parliament mandates obtained by the electoral competitor (1) The number of Member of Parliament mandates obtained by electoral competitors shall be calculated by the Central Electoral Commission by dividing successively the number of valid votes cast for each electoral competitor, with the exception of independent candidates, by 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. up to the figure corresponding to the number of mandates set for Parliament. (2) From the results of all the divisions and from the number of valid votes cast for the independent candidates, as many numbers as mandates as a Member that are to be distributed shall be taken, in descending order. The number in this descending string belonging to the political party or electoral block shall correspond to the number of mandates assigned to it. (3) The independent candidate shall be deemed elected if the number of valid votes cast obtained by him or her constitutes at least one per cent of the valid votes cast as a whole per country.
