Cardinal PR ([[Proportional Representation]] with [[Rated method|rated methods]]) is a class of proportional [[Rated voting|rated voting]] methods.


'''Cardinal proportional representation''' (or "'''Cardinal PR'''") is a class containing [[cardinal voting systems]] used for [[proportional representation]] in multi-seat elections.
It should be noted that these methods follow different types and philosophies of proportionality than most other PR methods; they all fail [[PSC]] (though [[Sequential Monroe voting]] comes closest).
