INTERACTIVE map of the mandates of the new Parliament. How the new parliamentarians are divided in each county / Some curious situations: from the AUR deputy of Covasna, to the counties where USR won the vote, but did not obtain the majority of seats – Politics

The 465 seats of the future Parliament, according to simulations on the latest information published by the AEP:

• PSD: 157 seats (110 deputies, 47 senators)

• NLP: 134 seats (93 deputies, 41 senators)

• USR-PLUS: 80 seats (55 deputies, 25 senators)

• GOLD: 47 seats (33 deputies, 14 senators)

• UDMR: 30 seats (21 deputies, 9 senators)

• minorities: 17 deputies

The current electoral system assumes that parliamentarians are elected through a system of proportional lists of 43 electoral districts consisting of the 41 counties of Romania, Bucharest and the diaspora. The proportional system assumes that a party will have a number of seats proportional to the score obtained at the national level. As at the end of the elections some of the votes of the parties that failed to reach the electoral threshold remain, these votes are redistributed proportionally to the parties that have crossed the threshold.

In the first phase, mandates are assigned directly at the county level. Since there are few situations in which a party has exactly the number of votes only for full seats, a series of “scraps” of votes remain that enter the second phase of distribution by counties.

However, the redistribution procedure can also lead to some at least curious situations. He also wrote in detail about how the redistribution system works: Free Europe.

For example, after the redistribution phase, according to the simulation based on the latest figures from the AEP, the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) party would receive a mandate in … Covasna, county where the score obtained by the party was 2.84%.

Another strange situation is found in the two counties where USR-Plus won the vote: Timiș () and Brașov (26.79%).

In Timiș, USR-Plus came in first place, followed by PNL and PSD in third place. However, USR-Plus (3 deputies + 1 senator) will not have the majority of seats in this county, but PNL (4 deputies + 1 senator). In addition, PSD will have the most senators: 2 senators, although he came out in third place.

In Brasov, USR-Plus (27%) and PNL (26%) will each have 3 deputies and a senator, and PSD (20%, third) will receive 2 deputies and 2 senators. So equal seats between the three parties.

Similarly, in Teleorman PSD won 42% and NLP 2 with 39%. In the total number of seats, PNL comes out first with 3 deputies and a senator, while PSD takes 2 deputies and a senator.
