Thiele's voting rules

Thiele's voting rules are rules for multiwinner voting. They allow voters to vote for individual candidates rather than parties, but still guarantee proportional representation. They were published by Thorvald Thiele in Danish in 1895,[1] and translated to English by Svante Janson in 2016.[2] They were used in Swedish parliamentary elections to distribute seats within parties, and are still used in city council elections.
