About This Book

An analytical survey of proportional representation that explains principal voting methods, ballot mechanics, and counting procedures while arguing for wider adoption. The author examines theoretical foundations, addresses objections concerning government stability and the referendum role of general elections, and compares practical implementations and illustrative elections in other countries and colonies. Chapters evaluate administrative and legal machinery required to run proportional systems, describe experimental and municipal uses, and offer recommendations for phased trials and guidance for officials and electors adapting to new electoral methods.
