There is a difference between systems where people are electing parties, and systems where people are electing candidates. Both are multi winner systems, but are of different kind. This page seem to only cover the party type of systems. But in the index on the side it seem to also cover Satisfaction Approval Voting. But Satisfaction Approval Voting is a multi winner system to elect candidates.93.108.4.3 (talk) 09:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Could we have some examples? Biscuittin (talk) 20:32, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Article: Mixed Electoral System

Semi-proportional representation is more commonly referred to as 'Mixed Electoral Systems'. ^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^: 22^[5]^[6] ^[7] ^[8] ^[9] The article would be more accurate using the more common language.

Split distinct meanings

There's two or three different meanings of semi-proportional representation:

Mixed-member majoritarian representation
"Winner-take-most" systems, which have a bias toward larger parties but not as large as systems described as "winner-take-all"
Systems that are only proportional under very strict assumptions about voter behavior (e.g. the solid coalition assumption of STV, or the unanimous coalition assumption of SNTV)

I'd propose splitting these. Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 18:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
