Spanish term or phrase: re-proporcionándolo a nivel provincial
Political situation in Spain. The term appears in this context:

"Dado que la distribución de escaños se hace a nivel provincial (circunscripción), para desarrollar la simulación hemos reconstruido la estimación de voto por provincia de los principales partidos, utilizando el dato nacional publicado y re-proporcionándolo a nivel provincial según la distribución territorial registrada en las Elecciones Europeas del pasado mes de mayo."

And this is my provisional interpretation:

"Since the distribution of seats is given at provincial level (electoral district), in order to develop the simulation we reconstructed the estimated vote share of the main parties by province, using published national data and re-apportioning it/re-distributing it at provincial level, according to the the territorial distribution recorded in the European Elections of last May."
