Sequential proportional approval voting
Sequential proportional approval voting (SPAV) is a way of electing candidates that gives proportional representation. It combines approval voting and the highest average methods.
SPAV elects the candidate who would win an election in Approval voting (ignoring any candidates that were already elected), and then reduces the power of voters who voted for that candidate. This repeats until there are as many elected candidates as necessary.
The strength of a voter's vote after a candidate they voted for wins is equal to (1/m+1), with m being the number of candidates the voter supported that have won so far. For example, a voter who voted for 2 candidates that won and 3 that did not has only 1/3rd of their vote power remaining.
Highest averages method
A highest averages method is a way of electing candidates that gives proportional representation. It works by looking at the number of votes that political parties have and giving seats to each party when a party can "average" more votes for each seat it gets than any other party. The D'Hondt method and the Webster method are two common highest average methods.
