Line 11:
List PR may also be combined in various hybrids (e.g. using the [[Additional member system]]).
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 a proportional electoral system becomes.
==Apportionment==
Since a party list method proportionally allocates the seats in an assembly (like a legislature), it may also be used to proportionally divide seats among states in a federal assembly. When a party list method is used for this purpose, it is called an apportionment method. The use of the Huntington-Hill method to allocate seats of the United States House of Representatives is an example of apportionment.
