Additional Distribution
Additional distribution — additional distribution among regional groups of the same federal candidate list that have registered candidates who did not receive parliamentary mandates. If, at the time of the additional distribution, there are regional groups of candidates who did not receive parliamentary mandates during their distribution... and among these regional groups of candidates there are groups with registered candidates who still have not received parliamentary mandates, then one mandate is transferred to each of the aforementioned regional groups of candidates. At the same time, the order of their transfer is maintained... If, during the additional distribution, after exhausting the regional groups of candidates... there remain undistributed parliamentary mandates, they are transferred one by one to those regional groups of candidates in which the coefficient of additional distribution turns out to be the lowest.1.
