=== Random Ballots ===
The mathematically expected MMPD for ''n'' winners randomly selected from uniform(0,1) is (n+3)/(2(n+1)(n+2)), which is 1/3 for a single winner, and asympotically 1/(2n) as the number of seats approaches infinity.
=== Droop Multiples ===
Electing the candidates {i/(n+1): 1≤i≤n} gives an MMPD of (n+3)/(4(n
=== Optimal
The minimum possible MMPD in a uniform linear spectrum is 1/(4n), which occurs when the candidate set {(2i+1)/(2n): 0≤i<n} is elected.
