"Thresholds are “fixed or variable limits, established using the election result, which determine whether a given list or a given candidate takes part in the distribution of seats”. They are in some way the equivalent of the thresholds used in the first round election in the majority system. This restriction on access to distribution generally applies to the award of seats in basic constituencies, but it may also be applied solely to groups of constituencies or to the distribution of remainders.
