Example of Calculation
State
Kedah
150,000
15
150,000 ÷ 15 = 10,000
1 seat = 10,000

| B | 20,000 | 2 |
| C | 10,000 | 1 |

The vote allocation process is conducted in two rounds to ensure that no votes are wasted.
First Round
Allocating seats based on the full quota achieved by each party.
Second Round
Using the Largest Remainder Method, whereby the remaining seats are allocated one by one to the parties with the highest remaining votes until all seats are filled.
