Central Electoral Commission (Komisioni Qendror i Zgjedhjeve), Electoral Code of the Republic of Albania (Kodi Zgjedhor i Republikës së Shqipërisë) last amended on February 2025, accessed 22 May 2025

Article 75 Criteria and procedure for determining the number of mandates
1. The number of mandates for each electoral zone is determined in relation to the number of citizens of each electoral zone. Each mandate represents an approximately equal number of citizens.
2. The total number of citizens, according to the National Civil Status Registry, is divided by the number 140 of the Assembly mandates, thereby determining the average number of citizens belonging to each Assembly mandate.
3. The number of mandates for each electoral zone is determined by dividing the number of citizens residing in the electoral zone by the average number obtained according to point 2 of this article.
4. Each electoral zone is initially assigned a number of mandates equal to the whole number obtained from the division, according to point 3 of this article.
5. If, at the end of the action taken, according to point 4 of this article, one or more mandates remain undistributed, they shall be distributed to the zones based on the largest decimal point obtained from the division, according to point 3 of this article. The distribution of the remaining mandates shall be carried out in descending order, starting from the zone with the largest decimal point.
6. If, even after the application of point 5 of this article, the decimal point of two or more zones is the same, the last mandate shall be assigned to the zone that, after the calculation according to point 3 of this article, has the largest remaining number of citizens who have not produced a full mandate.
7. If, even after the application of point 6 of this article, two or more electoral zones have the same number of citizens who have not produced a full mandate, the mandates shall be distributed by lot by the CEC. The drawing of lots is always held publicly and in the presence of subjects that have permanent representatives in the CEC.
