If a tie occurs because the quotients are identical in the distribution according to Articles 9.5, 9.6, and 9.7 of this Law, the mandate shall be allocatedon the basis of the drawing of a lot.
Mandates won by a list shall be distributed first amongst candidates on the list who individually received at least twenty percent (20%)of the total number of valid votes received by that list, and these mandates shall be awarded in the order of the highest number of votes to the lowest number of votes. If there are still mandates to be distributed to a list and the candidates remaining are those who received less than twenty percent (20%) of the total valid votes received by that list, then distribution of the mandates among the remaining candidates from the list will be done according to their order on the list.
If a political party or coalition does not have enough eligible candidates on the list to fill seats allocated to it, the mandate shall be transferred to the party or coalition’s list in another constituency according to the procedure set forth in Article 9.7 of this law.
