Where: H’a = the highest average; V’v = the total number of valid votes received by each political party in the Capital/province; N’s = the number of seats allocated to a political party If, after the computation using the formula mentioned in Step 3 above, there is 01 (one) for all qualified political parties that seat shall be allocated to the political party receiving the highest average. In case there are more than 01 (one) seats left to be allocated apply the formula in Step 3 and the 01 (one) seat shall be allocated to the political party with the highest average. Then, this formula shall be applied again by increasing the value of Ns to one seat for the political party that received one seat during the first application of the formula. Thus, 01 (one) seat will be apportioned to the political party that attained the highest average resulted from the second application of this formula. If there are still more seat(s) left repeat the same computation apportioning 01 (one) seat at a time successively until there is no seat left. In applying the formula above, if two or more political parties receive equal results that cannot be determined to allocate the remaining seats to any political party, the item (F) of article 135 of this law shall apply. In case a political party’s candidate list does not have adequate candidates the National Election Committee shall give a written notice to that party to add their candidates not later than 48 (forty eight) hours upon receipt of such notice. In the event that a political party fails to meet the abovementioned timeframe that party shall be considered to have abandoned its seat(s) and left its/their seats vacant.
