Hi,
inspired by "The space of all proportional voting systems and the most
majoritarian among them" paper by Speroni di Fenizio and Gewurz, I
created a score-based system - https://ollpoll.org/about.html
It is a two-pass score-to-vote majoritarian party-list proportional
representation system and has the following properties:
- score voting based - can score multiple parties and express different
levels of support
- eliminates vote splitting (in 2023 parliamentary election in Slovakia
we had 25 parties to choose from!)
- assigns votes to the strongest party in each faction, eliminates
weaker clones from factions. This reduces the number of winning parties,
thus reduces political fragmentation
- majoritarian, concentrates power to the strongest parties, but still
proportionally representative. You can pick any ballot and tell which
party received how many votes from it
- if you omit apportionment for seat allocation, you can use it in
multi-winner elections with huge number of candidates and only a handful
of winners, like US primaries
As with many things in life, when you invent something, somebody else
had already invented it before. Is this the case with OllPoll? Do you
know anything similar, except the paper I mentioned? And most
importantly, do you find it useful?
Cheers,
Oskar
