Abstract: | Apportionment methods round vote proportions to integer numbers of seats in a parliament. An important issue is whether a
given apportionment method treats larger and smaller parties equally or gives rise to seat biases. In this paper two models
of quantifying seat biases of popular apportionment methods are compared to each other. The models are found to result in
the same asymptotic behaviour when the number of seats available for apportionment grows large. |
