Phragmen's voting rules

Phragmén's voting rules are rules for multiwinner voting. They allow voters to vote for individual candidates rather than parties, but still guarantee proportional representation. They were published by Lars Edvard Phragmén in French and Swedish between 1893 and 1899,[1] and translated to English by Svante Janson in 2016.[2]
