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)= 4.4721. 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 manyNeed to check for a second one
