Are the calculator's results official?

No, they are for simulation only and depend entirely on the figures you enter. Official results are the sole responsibility of the National Independent Electoral Authority (ANIE).

What happens if no list reaches the 5% threshold?

In this exceptional case, all lists are admitted to the allocation regardless, per article 198 of the electoral law.

How is a tie between two lists for the last seat broken?

The last seat goes to the list whose candidate is youngest, per article 196 of the electoral law.

How does the number of seats per district vary?

It's set by the official table in law 26-07 based on the population of each of the 69 wilayas, with seats reserved for the Algerian diaspora constituency; the national total is 407 seats.

Guide to electoral calculators in Algeria

One calculator explains how your vote turns into a seat in the National People's Assembly: Algeria's proportional system first excludes lists that didn't reach the 5% threshold of votes cast in the district, then computes an electoral quotient (the number of votes needed for one seat), each list getting seats for every time it reaches that quotient, with remaining seats allocated by largest remainder. It serves both the voter who wants to understand the mechanism and the candidate or party estimating their chances before polling day, using fictional or real vote counts you enter yourself.

What are the numbers based on?

The method follows the electoral law (ordinance 21-01, art. 194-198), which sets the 5% threshold and the largest-remainder system, plus the official seat-allocation table by wilaya and the diaspora constituency established by law 26-07. The calculator applies these rules literally to whatever vote counts and lists you enter, whether for a real district or a fictional scenario.
