'''Dual-member proportional representation''' ('''DMP'''), also known as '''dual-member mixed proportional''', is an [[electoral system]] designed to produce [[proportional representation|proportional election results]] across a region by electing two [[legislator|representatives]] in each of the region’s [[electoral district|districts]].<ref name="dmpreport">{{cite web |first=Sean |last=Graham |title=Dual-Member Mixed Proportional: A New Electoral System for Canada |url=https://dmpforcanada.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/dmp-report-updated-april-4-2016.pdf |date=April 4, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=PEI Special Committee on Democratic Renewal |title=Recommendations in Response to the White Paper on Democratic Renewal |url=http://www.assembly.pe.ca/sittings/2015fall/reports/23_1_2015-27-11-report.pdf |date=November 27, 2015 |publisher=Prince Edward Island Legislative Assembly}}</ref> The 1st seat in every district is awarded to the candidate who receives the most votes, similar to [[first-past-the-post voting]] (FPTP). The 2nd seat is awarded to one of the remaining district candidates so that proportionality is achieved across the region, using a calculation that aims to award parties their seats in the districts where they had their strongest performances.
