Of the ninety eight (98) mandates for the House of Representatives of the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, between twenty-three percent (23%) and twenty-seven percent (27%) shall be compensatory mandates. The remaining mandates shall be allocated in multi-member constituencies.
There shall be a minimum of ten (10) multi-member constituencies. A multi-member constituency shall have a minimum of three (3) members and a maximum of fifteen (15) members. The Brcko District shall be included in one of the multi-member constituencies.
The number of mandates for a constituency shall be determined as follows: The number of registered voters for the House of Representatives of the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as determined by the Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina, shall be divided by the total number of constituency mandates to be allocated. The number of registered voters for a constituency shall be divided by the quotient resulting from the previous division to determine the number of mandates to which the constituency is entitled.
