Proportional voting systems are used by most of the world's established democracies and make it much more difficult to gerrymander elections.

One result was that nearly every district had two-party representation, giving voters more choice, better representation, and creating more competition.

• Voting systems are methods (algorithms) for groups of people to select one or more options from many, taking into account the individual preferences of the group members.
