André Sainte-Laguë was a French mathematician and engineer, best known for developing the Sainte-Laguë method, which is a voting system used for proportional representation in elections. The method was first introduced by him in 1899 and is designed to allocate seats in a legislature in a way that reflects the overall vote distribution among parties or candidates. The Sainte-Laguë method employs a specific divisor to determine how many seats each party receives based on the number of votes they garner.
