This method maximizes total representation instead of minimizing misrepresentation, with each elected candidate the representative of an equal number of voters, and the degree to which a voter is represented by their candidate is simply that voter's rating of the candidate. In the single-winner case, this Monroe method reduces to either [[Range voting]] or [[Approval voting]] depending on the ballot format. |
