Apportionment
 A method of dividing a whole into
various part.
 The apportionment of seats in the
House of Representatives is based
on the relative population of each
state.
 Has its roots in the U.S. Constitution

𝑄=
standard divisor

APPORTIONMENT & VOTING


Hamilton’s Method:
1) Using the standard divisor (D), calculate the
standard quota (Q) rounded to the nearest whole
number (lower quota). Initially, each sub-group
receives a number of seats equal to its lower quota.
2) If the sum of the lower quotas equals the number of
seats to be apportioned, the apportionment process
is complete.
3) If the sum of the lower quotas is less than the total
number of seats to be apportioned, then assign a
seat to the sub-group that has the highest decimal
part in its standard quota.
4) Repeat step 3 (using the next highest decimal part)
until the total number of seats has been apportioned.

2) The Jefferson Plan
 uses a modified standard divisor 𝐷𝑚
that yields to the correct number of
representatives by trial and error so
that the sum of the standard quotas
is equal to the number of
representatives.
 the modified standard divisor is
always less than the standard divisor.

APPORTIONMENT & VOTING


Jefferson’s Method:
1. Using the standard divisor, calculate the standard quota
and the lower quotas of each sub-group.
2. If the sum of the lower quotas equals the total number
of seats to be apportioned, the apportionment process
is complete, that is, each subgroup receives a number
of seats equal to its lower quota.
3. If the sum of the lower quotas does not equal to the
number of seats to be apportioned, choose a modified
divisor less than the standard divisor and calculate the
modified quotas and lower modified quotas.
4. Repeat step 3 until you find a modified divisor such that
the sum of the lower modified quotas equals the total
number of seats to be apportioned. Each subgroup
receives a number of seats equal to its lower modified
quota, and the apportionment process is complete.

3) Adam’s Method:
Adams’s method divides all
populations by a modified divisor and
then rounds the results up to the upper
quota. Just like Jefferson’s method we
keep guessing modified divisors until
the method assigns the correct number
of seats. All the quotas are rounded up
so the standard divisor will give a sum
that is too large. Our guess for the first
modified divisor should be a number
larger than the standard divisor.

APPORTIONMENT & VOTING


Summary of Adams’s Method:
1. Find the standard divisor.
2. Pick a modified divisor, d, that is slightly more
than the standard divisor.
3. Divide each state’s population by the modified
divisor to get the modified quota.
4. Round each modified quota up to the upper
quota.
5. Find the sum of the upper quotas.
6. If the sum is the same as the number of seats
to be apportioned, you are done. If the sum is
too big, pick a new modified divisor that is
larger than d. If the sum is too small, pick a new
modified divisor that is smaller than d. Repeat
steps three through six until the correct number
of seats are apportioned.

4) Webster’s Plan:
Webster’s method divides all populations by a
modified divisor and then rounds the results up or
down following the usual rounding rules. Just like
Jefferson’s method we keep guessing modified
divisors until the method assigns the correct
number of seats. Because some quotas are rounded
up and others down we do not know if the standard
divisor will give a sum that is too large or too
small. Our guess for the first modified divisor
should be the standard divisor.

APPORTIONMENT & VOTING


Summary of Webster’s Method:
1. Find the standard divisor. Use the standard divisor as the
first modified divisor.
2. Divide each state’s population by the modified divisor to
get the modified quota.
3. Round each modified quota to the nearest integer (round
off) using conventional rounding rules.
4. Find the sum of the rounded quotas.
5. If the sum is the same as the number of seats to be
apportioned, you are done. If the sum is too big, pick a
new modified divisor that is larger than d. If the sum is
too small, pick a new modified divisor that is smaller
than d. Repeat steps two through five until the correct
number of seats are apportioned.

Fairness in Apportionment
One criterion of fairness for an
apportionment plan is that it should satisfy the quota
rule
Quota Rule – The number of representatives
apportioned to a state is the
standard quota or one more than
the standard quota
Average Constituency (C) – the average
constituencies of the sub-group are
approximately the same

Fairness in Apportionment
Absolute Unfairness of an Apportionment – The absolute unfairness of
an apportionment is the absolute value of the
difference between the average constituency of state
A and the average constituency of state B.

5)Huntington-Hill Apportionment Method
 Method of equal proportions
 Used by the House of
Representatives since 1940
 Implemented by calculating what is
called Huntington-Hill number which
is derived from the apportionment
principle.

APPORTIONMENT & VOTING


Huntington-Hill Apportionment Method
 When there is a choice of adding one
representative to a number of sub-groups,
the representative should be added to the
sub-group with the greatest Huntington-Hill
number denoted by

composed of students from each of the
undergraduate classes. If a new student
representative is added to the council, use the
Huntington-Hill apportionment principle to
determine which class the new student council
member should represent.

Introduction:
The Constitution of the Philippines,
stipulates that the election is held every six
years. The incumbent president’s term is
limited for 6 years and cannot run for another
term. The plurality voting system is used to
determine the winner: the candidate with the
highest number of votes, whether or not one
has a majority, wins the presidency.
The Philippines has a multi-party system,
with numerous parties in which no one party
often has a chance of gaining power alone, and
parties must work with each other to form a
coalition government. This can be done by
weighted voting system.

APPORTIONMENT & VOTING


The Constitution of the Philippines
also mandated Congress to make
reapportionment of legislative districts
following the return of every national
census, in order to ensure that for every
increase in the population of a city or
province, the increase in every
inhabitants are duly represented in
Congress at the ratio of a
Representative for every two hundred
fifty thousand inhabitants.

APPORTIONMENT & VOTING


Before the year 2010, the Province of
Laguna, had only four districts. As of May 10,
2010, it had tremendously increased to
2,669,847, as per annual population growth rate of
Laguna conducted by the National Statistics Office,
necessitating a reapportionment of its legislative
districts in order to give proper and adequate
representation in the House of Representatives.
Thus, a reapportionment of the Fourth District of
Laguna was acted upon by the Senate and the
House of Representative of the Philippines in
Congress.
So, the Province of Laguna is entitled to
10.679 representatives, which is not exactly a
whole number. Dealing with decimal remainders
like this is the basis for apportionment problems.
APPORTIONMENT & VOTING
1.) Plurality Method of Voting
 each voter votes for one candidate,
and the candidate with the most
votes wins. The winning candidate
does not have to have a majority of
the votes.
 majority vote: over 50% of the people
voting must vote for the candidate

Example:
Who will win the presidency in an
organization (A, B, or C) using the
plurality voting system? Candidate C

2.) Borda Count Method of Voting
 Each voter ranks all of the candidates;
that is, each voter selects his or her first
choice, second choice, third choice, and
so on. If there are k candidates, each
candidate receives k points for each
first-choice vote, (k - 1) points for each
second-choice vote, (k - 2) points for
each third-choice vote, and so on. The
candidate with the most total points is
declared the winner.

2nd choice 2 pts B A A B
3rd choice 1 pt C B C A

3.) Plurality with Elimination Method
 each person votes for his or her
favorite candidate. If a candidate
receives a majority of votes, that
candidate is declared the winner. If
no candidate receives a majority,
then the candidate with the fewest
votes is eliminated and a new
election is held. This process
continues until a candidate receives
a majority of the votes.

Example:
A university wants to add a new sport to its existing
program. To help ensure that the new sport will have student
support, the students of the university are asked to rank the
four sports under consideration. The results are shown in the
following table.
Sports Rankings
Lacrosse 464 3 2 3 1 1 2
Squash 494 2 1 4 2 3 1

which of these sports should be added to the university’s
program.

4.) Pairwise Comparison Voting
 sometimes referred to as the head-to-head
method
 Each voter ranks all of the candidates; that
is, each voter selects his or her first
choice, second choice, third choice, and so
on. For each possible pairing of
candidates, the candidate with the most
votes receives 1 point; if there is a tie, each
candidate receives 0.5 points and 0 points
for a loss. The candidate who receives the
most points is declared the winner.

Flaws of Voting Systems

Fairness Criteria
 Majority Criterion
The candidate who receives a majority
of the first-place votes is the winner.
 Monotonicity Criterion
If candidate A wins an election, then
candidate A will also win the election if the
only change in the voters’ preferences is
that supporters of a different candidate
change their votes to support candidate A.
