4592. LEGISLATURES, Election of members.—

So many [representatives] only shall be deemed elected as there are units
actually voting on that particular election, adding
one for any fraction of votes exceeding the
half unit. Nor shall more be deemed elected
than the number last apportioned. If a county
has not a half unit of votes, the Legislature
shall incorporate its votes with those of some
adjoining county.—
