Elections

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.

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.
