droop quota

Droop quota. In some proportional-representation elections, the minimum number of votes needed to win a legislative seat. • The quota is determined by a formula based on the reciprocal of the number of representatives plus one — or 1/(n + 1), where “n” is the number of representatives being elected. The term is named for the developer of the election format, Henry Richmond Droop (1831–1884).
