I've read with interest some of the posts in here over the last few months from the archive so thought I might join and post! I got interested in voting systems because of the Alternative Vote (or Instant Runoff) referendum we had in the UK. I didn't think it was much of an improvement over our current system of First Past the Post (Plurality) and started looking at other systems.</DIV>

<DIV>I've always been a supporter of Proportional Representation, with Single Transferable Vote probably the "main" one that gets talked about, in the UK at least (and I'm not a fan of party lists). I came across Forest Simmons's Proportional Approval Voting, which is very interesting, although if you type "Proportional Range Voting" into Google you get surprisingly little. Anyway, I looked into Proportional Approval/Range Voting myself and came up with my own systems of them. (I don't think anyone else has described the same systems - apologies if they have). So I thought I might see what people here make of them. <A href="http://www.tobypereira.co.uk/voting.html">http://www.tobypereira.co.uk/voting.html</A></DIV></div></body></html>
