Party-list proportional representation: Difference between revisions

'''Party-list proportional representation''' systems are a family of voting systems used in multiple-winner [[election]]selections (e.g. elections to [[parliament]]), emphasizing [[proportional representation]]. In these systems, parties make lists of candidates to be elected, and seats get allocated to each party in proportion to the number of votes the party receives. Voters may vote directly for the party, like in [[Israel]], or they may vote for candidates and that vote will pool to the party, like in [[Turkey]] and [[Finland]]. The order in which the party's list candidates get elected may be pre-determined by some method internal to the party (a [[closed list]] system) or they may be determined by the voters at large (an [[open list]] system).

* The [[largest remainder method]].<br>

The unmodified Sainte-Laguë method and the LR-Hare method rank as the most proportional followed by LR-Droop; [[single transferable vote]]; modified Sainte-Laguë, d'Hondt and largest remainder Imperiali. While the allocation formula is important, equally important is the district magnitude (number of seats in a constituency). The higher the district magnitude, the more proportional ana proportional electoral system becomes.
