Crate sainte_lague
source · [−]Expand description
A rust implementation of the Sainte-Laguë (also known as Webster or Schepers) method. Parliament seat allocation algorithm used in multiple countries such as Germany, Latvia, New Zealand etc…
Attention: Since some countries (like Latvia or Norway) use a modification of the algorithm instead of this vanilla version, you should check your country’s electoral legislature. Furthermore, I don’t take any responsibility for the accuracy of the calculated numbers, even though I’m pretty confident with my implementation.
