The Webster and Hill Method for Apportionment Both are like the Jefferson method

Webster Instead of truncating to find the initial distribution use the rounding method that is most familiar (.5 and above round up below.5 round down) Count up the number of sear distributed and determine how many seat need to be add or taken away.

Webster If there are 6 different coalitions that control the following populations how would Webster distribute 35 seats. A 979 B 868 C 590 D 449 E 356 F 258

Webster initial distribution Round down Round up One to many Go down.5 from int. to lose a seat

Hill Instead of truncating to find the initial distribution round at the geometry mean ( if quota is 4.48 then the geometric mean is √(4 x 5)= Round up to 5) Count up the number of seats distributed and determine how many seat need to be add or taken away.

Hill If there are 6 different coalitions that control the following populations how would Hill distribute 35 seats. A 979 B 868 C 590 D 449 E 356 F 258

Hill initial distribution Round up because they are greater than the geometric mean

Divide by the geometric mean Two to many Need to check for a second one
