One generalization of the Equally Weighted Vote for the multi-winner or proportional context is [[Vote unitarity|vote unitarity]]. ThereThe is some controversy over whether or how relevant it is in that context, but thebasic idea is that when a voter is "maximally satisfied" with one representative (they gave one of the winners a perfect score), theyvote should notstay haveequally anyweighted influence on selectingthroughout the otherelection winnerstabulation. NoteA thatvoters thereinfluence areon nuanceselecting to this; if, say, every voter gives one of thesubsequent winners ashould perfectdirectly score, then instead of everyone's vote having no influencedepend on the other winners, vote unitarity tries to ensure some kindamount of proportionalsupport decreasethey ingave voting power such that every voter still has a significant amount of influence on thefor remainingprior winners.

The prominent [[Reweighted Range Voting]] method fails vote unitarity.
