Party-list proportional representation
Party-list proportional representation systems are a family of voting systems emphasizing proportional representation (PR) in elections in which multiple candidates are elected (e.g. elections to parliament). They can also be used as part of mixed additional member systems.
The D'Hondt method (or Jefferson's method), used in Albania, Austria, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Israel, Poland, Scotland and Spain, among other places;
The Sainte-Laguë method (or Webster's method), used in many Scandinavian countries, New Zealand, and the German state of Bremen;
The largest remainder (LR) methods, including the Hamilton method.
List proportional representation may also be combined in various hybrids, e.g. using the additional member system.
LR-Hare
Unmodified Sainte-Laguë method (slightly favors smaller parties)
LR-Droop (slightly favors larger parties)
D'Hondt method (slightly favors larger parties)
LR-Imperiali (greatly favors larger parties)

Handbook of Electoral System Choice
Apportionment, or How to Round Seat Numbers
Glossary of Electoral Formulas
In these systems, parties make lists of candidates to be elected, and seats get allocated to each party in proportion to the number of votes the party receives. Voters may vote directly for the party, as in Israel, for candidates and that vote will pool to the party, as in Turkey and Brazil, or for a list of candidates, as in Hong Kong. The order in which a party's list candidates get elected may be pre-determined by some method internal to the party or the candidates (a closed list system) or it may be determined by the voters at large (an open list system).
Many variations on seat allocation within party-list proportional representation exist. The three most common are:
List of main apportionment methods (most proportional to least proportional):
While the allocation formula is important, equally important is the district magnitude (number of seats in a constituency). The higher the district magnitude, the more proportional an electoral system becomes.
