Several multi-winner systems that use approval voting have been developed but they each suffer from various problems. Six of these methods are discussed in this paper. They are Satisfaction Approval Voting, Minimax Approval Voting, Proportional Approval Voting, Monroe's Fully Proportional Representation, Chamberlin-Courant's Rule, and Ebert's method. They all fail at least one of Proportional Representation (PR), strong PR, monotonicity or positive support. However, the new method described in…

### Committee Selection with Attribute Level Preferences

• Economics
ArXiv
• 2019
This work provides a formal study of the different aspects of the problem of committee selection from a fixed set of candidates where each candidate has multiple quantifiable attributes and proves that finding a committee with justified representation and the highest approval voting score is NP-complete.

A detailed study of axioms, rules, algorithms, and computational complexity for the problem of committee selection from a fixed set of candidates where each candidate has multiple quantifiable attributes.

### Multiwinner approval rules as apportionment methods

• Economics
AAAI
• 2017
It is shown that proportional approval voting induces the D’Hondt method and that Monroe’s rule induces the largest remainder method, which yields apportionment methods implementing degressive proportionality.

### Justified representation in approval-based committee voting

• Computer Science
MPREF@AAAI
• 2014
A natural axiom is proposed for approval-based committee voting, i.e. the setting where each voter approves a subset of candidates, and these votes are then used to select a fixed-size set of winners (committee), which is called justified representation ($$\mathrm {JR}$$JR).

### Satisfaction Approval Voting

• Economics
• 2010
We propose a new voting system, satisfaction approval voting (SAV), for multiwinner elections, in which voters can approve of as many candidates or as many parties as they like. However, the winners

### Approval voting

• Economics
• 1983
Approval voting has been offered by a number of formal theorists, notably Steven Brams and Peter Fishburn (1983), as a solution to problems occasioned by multicandidate elections. The formal

### A minimax procedure for electing committees

• Economics
• 2007
Abstract A new voting procedure for electing committees, called the minimax procedure, is described. Based on approval balloting, it chooses the committee that minimizes the maximum Hamming distance

### Fully Proportional Representation

• Economics
American Political Science Review
• 1995
A new concept of proportional representation that takes account of voters' preferences over the full list of alternatives—fully proportional representation (FPR)—and schemes for its implementation are presented.
