I'm SteveB,
I've just now put the following proportion voting method onto electowiki. I look forward to your feedback: Evaluative-proportional representation (EPR).
EPR is a proportional voting system for electing a legislative body by all the voters in a city, state, or nation. https://www.jpolrisk.com/legislatures-elected-by-evaluative-proportional-representation-epr-an-algorithm-v3/
Each EPR voter is invited to grade the suitability for office of at least one candidate as either Excellent, Very Good, Good, or Acceptable. They can award the same grade to more than one candidate. Each EPR ballot contains only one vote.
These EPR ballots are counted to guarantee that each citizen’s vote will equally add to the voting power in the legislative council of the elected member they are most likely to see as representing their hopes and concerns accurately: the candidate they awarded their highest grade, remaining highest grade, or proxy vote. Each elected member has a different weighted vote in the council exactly equal to the number of all the ballots (votes) that they have finally received as a result of the count. This benefit seems not to be deliverable by any other type of PR currently being used in the world.
EPR demonstrably provides citizens with the voting power each would have in a fully representative democracy. EPR does not waste any vote. 100% of all the votes cast will be equally represented.
EPR optimally respects the democratic principle that each citizen’s vote should count equally.
