Abstract: Abstract This chapter contains applications of the tools to the evaluation of malapportionment and disproportionality, already presented in Chap. 31 . It is applied to the 2010 Electoral College and the French parliamentary and local elections with a special attention to the electoral reform of 2015. In these applications, the Lorenz curve ordering is almost conclusive, and consequently the Gini and DK indices are aligned and complement the almost complete ranking derived from Lorenz.
