where the first two candidates received an equal number of votes, will remain vacant. All other single-seat constituencies will be won by the candidate who received the most votes. The result of MMC where turnout was below 25% is declared invalid, and the seats from that constituency are added to the compensation seats. The parties passing the threshold are identified based on MMCs with a valid result. Seats from these constituencies are distributed. Parties having passed the threshold are eligible for the compensation seats; these are distributed based on: the sum of votes remaining in the MMCs after the distribution of the seats, plus the sum of votes cast for losing candidates of each party in the first valid round of each single-seat constituency (similar to the scorporo system). Since the first valid round is taken into account, votes are still counted for a candidate who is eliminated in the first round, or who steps down after a valid first round to endorse another, more viable candidate.
