[[Monotonicity]] appears very often in discussions of cardinal PR; it is a point of pride that [[Score voting]] passes every imaginable generalized form of monotonicity (which practically no other voting methods can), and cardinal PR advocates actively search for PR methods that imitate and extend that feat as much as possible in the multi-winner context.
 
=== Precinct-summability ===
Though most sequential cardinal PR methods aren't summable, they usually terminate in as many rounds as there are winners. When there is one winner, this means a precinct can submit its vote totals without needing to receive data back from a central authority, and when there are two winners, it need only be noted who won the first round for the precincts to determine who won the second. In general, one less two-way communication must occur than the number of rounds. This makes cardinal PR methods more feasible to be counted using two-way communication than something like [[STV]], which can theoretically require [number of candidates - [number of winners]] rounds.
