Just about all cardinal PR methods are immune to Woodall [[Free riding|free riding]], though their vulnerability to Hylland [[Free riding|free riding]] varies. Some, like [[Sequentially Shrinking Quota]], are maximally resistant.
 
It is possible to use a cardinal PR method to fill all but one of the seats in an election, and then use either [[STAR voting]] or a [[:Category:Condorcet-cardinal hybrid methods|Condorcet-cardinal hybrid method]] to fill the final seat. For example, SPAV could be used to fill the first four of five seats, and then with the ballots in their reweighted forms, the [[Smith//Approval]] winner could be elected to the final seat. This can be done with ranked or rated ballots using [[Approval threshold|approval thresholds]] to find out both approvals and [[Head-to-head matchup|head-to-head matchups]]. One advantage this holds over using [[Single transferable vote#Deciding the election of the final seat|STV#Deciding the election of the final seat]] or any ranked PR method with a Condorcet method for the final seat is that there appear to be no simple, hand-countable ranked PR methods that reduce to [[D'Hondt]] in their [[party list case]], whereas SPAV and other cardinal PR methods do.
