Line 10:
Adding up the satisfaction of all the voters with the potential result gives the total satisfaction with that result. The potential result with the highest total satisfaction is chosen as the actual result.
If there was only one winner then ''proportional approval voting'' would become simple ''[[approval voting]]''. Alternatively, if each voter only voted for all the candidates of a single party then the results would essentially be the same as the [[D'Hondt method]] of ''[[party-list proportional representation]]''. The method can also be used with [[Sainte-Laguë method|Sainte-Laguë]] divisors.
Without the weighting of satisfaction, i.e. if the numbers of votes for each candidate are simply added up and those with the highest numbers elected, equivalent to satisfaction being ''n'', then this would amount to ''[[block approval voting]]'' which could have a similar chance of landslide results as ''[[block voting]]''.
