Sequential Monroe voting: Difference between revisions

# Repeat this process until all the seats are filled.

 

As a bonus, there is no need for a conformation loop because if the voters in X's highest scores hare quota gave Y a higher score on average, then Y's hare quota score must be at least equal to X's since Y's hare quota score is equal to the average score among the hare quota of ballots that does the best job of maximizing that average score and X's quota is a possible contender for "the best job of maximizing that average score and X's quota".

 

'''Fractional Surplus Handling to break ties''': when calculating which ballots belong to a candidate's quota, if for a particular score including voters that gave that candidate that score in the quota would make the quota to large and excluding it would make it to small, exhaust a portion of those vote's weights such that the total weight of the exhausted ballots still equals the hare quota. The reason why [[Fractional Surplus Handling]] is preferred is that it preserves the [[Independence of irrelevant alternatives]] and [[Monotonicity]] criteria that Monroe's method passes).
