Temporal Proportional Representation
A new voting system called Temporal Proportional Representation (TPR) aims to achieve proportionality over time rather than in a single election. One proposed method, the "Wasted Vote Refund," allows voters to accumulate votes, with winners paying a portion of their votes back to the pool, effectively transferring them to losers in future elections. This system is designed to ensure that over a series of elections, the vote distribution closely mirrors the overall voter preference, even for single-seat offices. AI
