                               North         South           East         West      

Standard quota     18.36%       26.32%     45.61%       9.71%

Lower quota             18%          26%            45%            9%

Upper quota             18%          26%            46%           10%

What is the quota method of apportionment?

The quota method of apportionment is the use of the standard divisor to round off standard quotas, according to some agreed ground norms.

When the standard quota is rounded down to an integer, it gives the lower quota, and rounding up gives the upper quota.

The standard divisor is calculated as the total population divided by the total number of seats.

The standard divisor gives the average number of people represented by a Board or seat member.
