Seats are distributed between parties that have gained at least one full quota (1/21, or approximately 4.76% of the vote) using the Hagenbach-Bischoff system (a variant of the D'Hondt method).[2] Aruba has a multi-party system, with two or three strong parties and a third party that is electorally successful.
