While [[approval voting]] is strategy-proof for voters with dichotomous preferences, every method passing justified representation is susceptible to strategic voting, even in this setting. <ref>{{cite arXiv | last=Peters | first=Dominik | title=Proportionality and Strategyproofness in Multiwinner Elections|eprint=2104.08594|class=cs.GT| date=2021-04-17}}</ref>

Even though Justified representation may appear to be similar to [[Stable Winner Set | core stability]], it is, in fact, a strictly weaker condition. Indeed, the core stability condition appears to be too demanding, as no known voting system is guaranteed to produce a core stable outcome, even when the core is known to be non-empty.
