Abstract
Another important family of apportionment methods is quota methods. Relying on a fixed divisor of some intrinsic persuasiveness, called quota, they follow the motto “Divide and rank”. The most prominent member of the family, the Hare-quota method with residual fit by greatest remainders, is discussed in the first part of the chapter.
