Majority jackpot system

The majority jackpot system (right) is a supermixed system: by default, it not only mixes a winner take all and PR formulas in the same district and tier (fusion), it also has a conditional and compensatory element as well. (bonus system to the left)

The majority jackpot system (MJS), also known as a majority-minority apportionment, is a mixed-member majoritarian and conditional voting rule.[1] It produces subproportional representation by fixing the final apportionment for a party or alliance that wins a majority of the vote at some level (e.g. 55% of the seats). It differs from the similar majority bonus system in that the total number of seats is fixed, whereas the majority bonus assigns a fixed number of "bonus" seats to the majority party.

It is currently used in Armenia and San Marino, and was previously used in Italy from 2006 to 2013.[citation needed]
