The new electoral law holds several new elements that did not exist in the past, including the electoral quotient or the electoral threshold.
The number of voters (those who voted not the number of those registered in the list) of a given electoral district is divided by the number of seats of said district to get the electoral quotient.
If the numbers of voters in a certain district is 200 thousand voters, 100 thousand of them casted their ballot, while the number of seats is 10, the numbers of those who voted is divided by the number of seats.
100 thousand divided by 10, which means that the electoral quotient is 10 thousand votes.
Any list that does not get the electoral quotient is eliminated from the process of sorting the seats.
For example, if three lists were competing, one received 68 thousand votes, the second 25 thousand votes and the third 7 thousand votes, then the third list will be eliminated and none of its candidates will have a parliamentary seat.
