Abstract: Abstract The multitude of apportionment methods that is available for the translation of vote counts into seat numbers is exemplified. The examples are taken from the 2014 European Parliament elections. For each of the 28 Member States the computational steps to convert the parties’ vote counts into the parties’ seat numbers are explained. The vote patterns on the ballot sheets are described, and the list positions of the successful candidates among the parties’ nominees are identified. The exposition is interspersed with conceptual remarks concerning proportional representation systems at large.
