Abstract: Abstract Apportionment methods are procedures to allocate a preordained number of seats proportionately to vote counts, census figures, or similar quantities. Apportionment methods must be anonymous, balanced, concordant, decent, and exact. Beyond these organizing principles the central issue is proportionality.
