Vote unitarity: Difference between revisions

(This is a major rewrite of the article done in collaboration with Keith Edmonds, the creator of this concept. These updates solidify the concept and break it down into testable parts so this goes from being an idea to being a criterion.) |

| ⚫ | '''[[Sequentially Spent Score]]''' ('''SSS''') is a sequential, [[Multi-Member System|multi-winner proportional,]] [[Cardinal voting systems|cardinal voting method]]. Voters score candidates, generally from 0-5, using [[Score voting]] ballots. Each round's winner is the candidate who has the highest sum total score. When tabulating the ballots, each voter begins with 5 stars to spend in order to gain representation and voters spend those stars when a candidate they supported is elected. If a voter scored a candidate 3 stars, that voter could only spend up to three stars to help elect that candidate.-- Voters cannot influence subsequent rounds more than the stars they have remaining. |

'''Sequentially Spent STAR voting''' is a variation of Sequentially Spent Score in which a runoff is added to the final seat up for election in so that the two highest scoring candidates are finalists and the finalist preferred by more voters wins the seat. This variation is helps to incentivize voters to show their full preference order. |

The versions of [[party-list proportional representation]] which comply with vote unitarity are those which follow a [[largest remainder method]] like the [[Hamilton method]] which apportion votes evenly. |
