== Proportional or semiproportional? ==
Note that other proportional voting methods sometimes are used with extra rules designed to stop fringe parties from winning seats. For instance, in the German mixed-member "proportional" method, a party that gets less than 5% or 2 direct seats does not get a proportional allotment of seats. Thus, technically speaking, even the German system is really only semiproportional, not truly proportional.
Line 71:
[[Open List/Delegated (OL/D) voting|OL/D voting]]: basically the same, but without the constraint of one candidate per riding, and with a slightly weaker elimination rule.
[[
[[Proportional 3RD voting]]: an old version of PACE.
