[1] Suppose we have two parties which receive A and B percent of the vote. According to the cube rule, the ratio of A seats-won to B seats-won should be proportional to A 3 /B 3. So if A wins 66.7% and B wins 33.3%, the ratio of votes A/B = 66.7/33.3 ≈ 2, but the ratio of seats is 66.7 3:33.3 3 ≈ 8:1. That works out to a ratio of seats of ...
[1] [2] More generally, divisor methods are used to round shares of a total to a fraction with a fixed denominator (e.g. percentage points, which must add up to 100). [ 2 ] The methods aim to treat voters equally by ensuring legislators represent an equal number of voters by ensuring every party has the same seats-to-votes ratio (or divisor ).
