PAL representation: Difference between revisions

# Each district "drafts" one member of each elected party from the elected slate. The draft for each party P proceeds as follows:

#*First, each party P representative is drafted by their home district. (This step is simply a courtesy. Because of ballot design, skipping to the following step would typically give the same results naturally.)

#*From then on, the draft proceeds in descending order of vote proportion. That is, if a greater fraction of the party P votes from district 1 went to candidate A than any other eligible district:candidate pair, then A is drafted to that district. Eligibility is as follows:

#:*The difference between the representative with the most total party P votes in their district, and the one with the least, must be decreased if there is any such drafting option. (Simpler version: No party P representative may be drafted by N+1 districts unless all party representatives have been drafted for at least N. But the simpler version could leave a representative of areas where the party is weak, with much fewer constituents than a representative of areas where it is strong.)
