'''Quota proportional representation''' '''squared''' ('''QPR2'''), also known simply as '''PR squared''' or '''PR^2''', is an [[electoral system]] designed to produce [[Proportional representation|semi-proportional election results]] across a region by electing two [[Legislator|representatives]] in each of the region’s [[Electoral district|districts]]. The 1st seat in every district is awarded to the party or candidate which receives the most votes, similar to [[first-past-the-post voting]] (FPTP). The 2nd seat is awarded to one of the remaining district parties or candidates so that squared proportionality is achieved across the region, using a calculation that aims to award parties their seats in the districts where they had their strongest performances, relative to the [[Droop quota]].
