Henry Richmond Droop (12 September 1832 – 21 March 1884) was an English barrister[1] after whom the Droop quota is named.[2] He also may have been the first to write down what later became known as Duverger's Law, in 1869.
He married Clara Baily (ca. 1841 – 7 September 1921) on 17 August 1872 and was the father of archaeologist John Percival Droop (1882–1963).
