''Reversing and making negative means that the voter's 100 points are used to disadvantage the worst from winning. This procedure reduces the failure of monotony, for the single-winner case.''

[[IRNR]] (L1 norm) is applied on rating ballots, also on ranges with negative values such as [-5,+5]. Distributed Voting (not extended), in the [[Single Member system|Single-Winner]] context, is a subcategory of IRNR, which binds the minimum value of the rating ballots to 0 (doesn't accept ratings with negative values). This constraint is important because it avoids the ambiguity of the IRNR:
[[IRNR]] (L1 norm) is applied also on ranges with negative values such as [-5,+5] but this makes it subject to ambiguity.

IRNR and Distributed Voting are equivalent in this case.

In IRNR only by changing the extremes of the range (leaving the interests of the voters and the size of the range unchanged), the winner changes. Distributed Voting instead avoid this ambiguity by imposing 0 as the minimum value in the rating.
In IRNR only by moving the range in negative value (leaving the interests of the voters and the size of the range unchanged), the winner changes. Distributed Voting instead avoid this ambiguity by imposing 0 as the minimum value in the range.

IRNR is a [[Single Member system|Single-Winner system]] which also, unlike Distributed Voting, doesn't reverse and make negative the vote before the count.
