Is the number of mandates (120) considered constant for complexity matters? | |
| Yes. |
A party recieved a number of votes equal to the elections barrier (%HASIMA * total number of votes). Does it pass the election barrier? | |
| No, to pass the election barrier a party must have a number of votes LARGER than the election barrier. |
Should the mandate distribution in the second stage (with the MODEDIM) be dynamic? i.e. after we give the first left mandate to the party with the largest MODED, should we update its MODED and find again the party with the maximal MODED for the second mandate left? | |
|
Yes. For example: Party votes 0: 10 1: 1000 2: 10001 The distribution in the initial stage in this: Party mandates 0: 0 1: 10 2: 108 Now we have 2 left mandates. Party 2 has the largest MODED, so it gets the first left mandate. Its new MODED is still the largest so it gets the second mandate as well. |
In Next_in_size: What happens if the last time Max_in_size or Next_in_size were called they returned a party P which now no longer exists in the system (because of Threshold)? | |
| Then Next_in_size function will fail. Note that all the parties that are smaller than the party P also must have been deleted from the system, so Next_in_size must fail anyway. |
What happens if Next_in_size returned some party p, which is the i-th party according to the order between parties, and now we call Add_votes on this party. Should the next call to Next_in_size return the next party after p, or the (i+1)-th party? | |
| The party after p. |
