The simplest PR system: open list Approval Transferable Vote.
ATF for multiwinner elections:
Quota (easy): Q = (Nballots + 1)/(Nseats + 1)
A voter may approve any number of candidates.
Each ballot is initially weighted as 1.0.
Count weighted approval totals. At same time, count weighted

American PR is a coming. You must decide if you want to keep quibbling

multi and single-winner election rules in the US.
