Calculator for Sainte-Laguë/Hare-Niemeyer/D'Hondt

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

I've discovered a calculator for the three "canonical" methods for determining seat allocations: Sainte-Laguë, Hare-Niemeyer, and D'Hondt - both in German and in (suboptimal) English:

staatsrecht.honikel.de/en/sitzzuteilungsrechner.htm

You can calculate up to 999 seats for up to 99 parties. (I really don't know why they didn't round off to 100. )

You can also add thresholds.

Please note: Don't use any thousands separators!

I've compiled a template for all 50 U.S. states with 435 seats from the latest population estimations as of July 2020.

Here's the template containing Washington D.C. with 436 seats (Party 51).

And here including Puerto Rico with 441 seats (Party 52).

Since I don't know how to edit the header row, here is the key to the party numbers:

1	Alabama	11	Hawaii	21	Massachusetts	31	New Mexico	41	South Dakota
2	Alaska	12	Idaho	22	Michigan	32	New York	42	Tennessee
3	Arizona	13	Illinois	23	Minnesota	33	North Carolina	43	Texas
4	Arkansas	14	Indiana	24	Mississippi	34	North Dakota	44	Utah
5	California	15	Iowa	25	Missouri	35	Ohio	45	Vermont
6	Colorado	16	Kansas	26	Montana	36	Oklahoma	46	Virginia
7	Connecticut	17	Kentucky	27	Nebraska	37	Oregon	47	Washington
8	Delaware	18	Louisiana	28	Nevada	38	Pennsylvania	48	West Virginia
9	Florida	19	Maine	29	New Hampshire	39	Rhode Isand	49	Wisconsin
10	Georgia	20	Maryland	30	New Jersey	40	South Carolina	50	Wyoming

Thanks for the find!

Thanks for the find!

You're welcome! The site used to offer calculations for only 500 seats and 20 parties, but they finally expanded it to 999 seats and 99 parties, Thus, I thought that site has become worth mentioning.

d'Hondt giving Vermont and Wyoming 0 seats is hilarious.

d'Hondt giving Vermont and Wyoming 0 seats is hilarious.

In all fairness, it's even more hilarious, or more precisely, ridiculous that Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution in combination with the Reapportionment Act of 1929 grants Vermont and Wyoming three electoral votes.

Btw, I've calculated the minimum number of House seats in order for Wyoming to be allotted one seat via the D'Hondt method: 542.

This is what the map would look like if 645 electoral votes were allocated today via D'Hondt:
