formula to determine party participation in provincial
Delegations to the National Council of Provinces
1. �
2. �
3. �
The number of delegates in a provincial delegation to the National Council of Provinces
to which a party is entitled, must be determined by multiplying the number of seats the
party holds in the provincial legislature by ten and dividing the result by the number of
seats in the legislature plus one.
If a calculation in terms of item 1 yields a surplus not absorbed by the delegates allocated
to a party in terms of that item, the surplus must compete with similar surpluses accruing
to any other party or parties, and any undistributed delegates in the delegation must be
allocated to the party or parties in the sequence of the highest surplus.
If the competing surpluses envisaged in item 2 are equal, the undistributed delegates
in the delegation must be allocated to the party or parties with the same surplus in the
sequence from the highest to the lowest number of votes that have been recorded for
those parties during the last election for the provincial legislature concerned.
