'''PR squared'''  (also known as "PR<sup>2</sup>") is an election method that relies on the territory that the electorate lives in to be divided up into districts.  Dr. [[Julian Wiseman]] is the voting theorist who devised PR squared. .According to a self-published paper from 1998, Dr. Wiseman describes the system this way.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PR-Squared |url=https://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/electsys/pr2-uk.html |access-date=2023-01-17 |website=www.jdawiseman.com}}</ref>  To quote the original author:
<blockquote>
''It typically elects a majority government; it elects one local MP from each constituency each of whom is dependent on the local vote; yet still ensures that if two parties receive equal votes then they receive equal seats. Hence it has the advantages of first-past-the-post, and yet still has the 'fairness' of proportional representation. ''
