"'''Reweighted range voting'''" (also possibly referred to as '''reweighted score voting''') is one of many [[cardinal proportional representation]] voting systems. It is a [[multi-member system]] (and a variant on [[score voting]]) designed as a natural extension of the [[Webster]] or [[Jefferson Method]] to a [[multi-member system]]. If two-level score (i.e. "[[approval voting]]") ballots are used then it reduces to [[sequential proportional approval voting|sequential proportional approval voting ("SPAV")]]. It is therefore one of the three extensions of [[sequential proportional approval voting]] to score ballots along with [[sequential proportional score voting]] and [[single distributed vote]].
 
'''Reweighted Score Voting''', also known as '''Reweighted Range Voting''' ('''RRV'''), is a [[Multi-Member System | Multi-Member ]] [[Score voting]] System. It a natural extension of the [[Webster]] or [[Jefferson Method]] to a [[Multi-Member System]]. If two-level score (i.e. [[Approval voting]]) ballots are used then it reduces to [[Sequential proportional approval voting]].
 
==Procedure==
Line 38 ⟶ 35:
# For the final seat available, the two highest-scoring candidates remaining runoff, with the candidate preferred (scored higher) by more reweighted ballots winning the final seat.
 
==Example Codecode==
Below is some example code, written in [[Python]] and posted by [[User:Fsargent]]:
<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line>
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line="">
import pandas
 
Line 76 ⟶ 75:
print(seated)
</syntaxhighlight>
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="" line>
Here is the output of the script when executed:
<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line="">
Red 18.0
Green 10.0
Line 101 ⟶ 102:
dtype: float64
['Red', 'Yellow', 'Blue', 'Green']
</syntaxhighlight>The example illustrates the order in which the four candidates are seated (<code>'Red'</code>, then <code>'Yellow'</code>, then <code>'Blue'</code>, then <code>'Green'</code>). After reordering to cluster similar voters, the ballots may be expressed as [[ABIF]] as follows:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
1: [Red]/5 = [Blue]/5 > [Yellow]/3 > [Green]/0
2: [Red]/5 = [Blue]/4 > [Yellow]/0 = [Green]/0
1: [Yellow]/5 > [Green]/0 = [Blue]/0 = [Red]/0
1: [Yellow]/4 > [Blue]/3 > [Green]/2 > [Red]/1
1: [Yellow]/2 > [Red]/1 > [Green]/0 = [Blue]/0
1: [Green]/5 > [Blue]/1 > [Red]/0 = [Yellow]/0
1: [Green]/3 > [Red]/1 = [Blue]/1 > [Yellow]/0
</syntaxhighlight>
 
<code>'Red'</code> and <code>'Blue'</code>are tied in the first round, with scores of "<code>18.0</code>". Because of the tie, the software arbitrarily chooses <code>'Red'</code>(though <code>'Blue'</code> may be arbitrarily chosen with the method in a different software implementation). After that, [[User:RobLa]] gets lost (as of April 2022), so someone else is going to have to explain how <code>'Blue'</code> falls behind <code>'Yellow'</code> in reweighted ballots of the second round.

If [[Ballot#Approval ballot|approval ballots]] are used, RRVthis method reduces to [[Sequentialsequential proportional approval voting|sequential proportional approval voting ("SPAV")]]. An arguably more natural extension of [[Sequential proportional approval voting]]"SPAV" to score ballots is [[Singlesingle distributed vote]]. These systems are very similar.
