In November 2005, I suggested a PR version of ER-Bucklin (whole). It has been pointed out to me that one word is wrong. In step 2, "amount" should instead be "proportion".
The corrected version: "Voters rank candidates, truncatation and equal-ranking ok. The winning threshold to elect the first winner is a Droop quota (number of valid ballots/number of seats +1). (1) Commence the ER-Bucklin(whole) process until the candidate with the highest score has a winning threshold.That single candidate is elected. (2) Reduce the weight of all the ballots that contributed to the winner's tally by an equal proportion which sums to a Droop quota. (Then delete the winner from the ballots.) (3) Based on these reweighted ballots, the reduced number of unfilled seats, and not counting as valid any now exhausted ballots,reset the Droop quota. (4) Repeat the above three steps until all the seats are filled." Chris Benham ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
