the system invented by jean-charles de borda was intended for use in elections with a single winner, but it is also possible to conduct a borda count with more than one winner, by recognizing the desired number of candidates with the most points as the winners. in other words, if there are two seats to be filled, then the two candidates with most points win; in a three-seat election, the three candidates with most points, and so on. in nauru, which uses the multi-seat variant of the borda count, parliamentary constituencies of two and four seats are used. the quota borda system is a system of proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies that uses the borda count.
