Line 3:
Allocation is the default mechanism for achieving [[proportional representation]] in voting methods. Winners are selected in rounds. Each round elects the candidate with the highest total score. After each selection, the Hare quota of ballots which scored the winner the highest is allocated to them, and as such those ballots are removed from subsequent rounds. Ballots on the cusp of the quota may only have their ballots partially allocated to ensure that voters who supported the winner equally are treated equally.
== Description ==
[[File:STAR-PR Ballot.jpg|thumb|A sample ballot for a STAR-PR election with 3 winners.]]
Winners in Proportional STAR Voting (Allocated Score) are selected in rounds. Each round elects the candidate with the highest total score and then designates a quota worth of voters from that candidate's strongest supporters as represented. Subsequent rounds include all voters who are not yet fully represented.
