Vote unitarity: Difference between revisions

[[Keith Edmonds]] saw a unification of [[Proportional representation]] and the concept of one person one vote which was maintained throughout winner the winner selection method. He coined the term "vote unitarity" for the second concept<ref>https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/electionscience/Tzt_z6pBt8A</ref> and designed a score reweighting system which satisfied both Hare Quota Criterion and Vote Unitarity. As such it would preserve the amount of score used through sequential rounds while attributing representation in a partitioned way. It would assign Hare Quotas of score to winners which allowed for a voters influence to be spread over multiple winners. The final system was originally proposed in a late stage of the [[W: 2018 British Columbia electoral reform referendum]] but was not selected for the referendum ballot. This system, [[Sequentially Spent Score]], was the first sequential [[Multi-Member System | Multi-Winner]] [[Cardinal voting systems | Cardinal voting system]] built on [[Score voting]] ballots to satisfy Vote Unitarity. Variants were soon found.
