      Election takes place in a district cluster comprising 10 or more districts, each to be represented by 2 MPs. Each candidate runs in a single district but voters can vote for any candidates in the cluster.
      In each district the candidate that got the largest number of votes from their own district is elected as long as that number is not smaller than Hare quota.
      Candidates are elected step by step until each district has two MPs representing it. In each step the candidate with the most favorable ABC+A+B+C score among the candidates with less than 2 MPs already representing their district is elected.

        @matija Do you need the first step about the electing the candidate with most votes in each district but only if they have a Hare quota? You could just do the whole process using the PR system. Or just elect the candidate with most votes anyway and just use the PR system for the second ones to be elected.

        I tend to think quotas are somewhat arbitrary.

          @toby-pereira The first step is to guarantee every district a locally supported MP as long as they can agree on who should represent them.

            I discussed something similar here and there's a video here as well. There's a video as well which shows a potential ballot design.

            In what I discussed the top voted candidate in each district was automatically elected in the first phase.

              @toby-pereira I'm copying the non-awardment version of MMP, which is more proportional than others.
