In a first step, the so-called upper allocation , the nationwide party votes are added together. With the help of the Hare-Niemeyer procedure with rounded Hare quota , the total number of seats on a state list is determined. In the so-called sub - allotments for each party, the seats to which a party is entitled are allocated to the constituencies using the same procedure. Accordingly, the number of seats in the districts depends on the number of valid votes in the respective districts.
