Panachage (English: /ˌpænəˈʃɑːʒ/, from French meaning "blend, mixture")[1] is an open-list proportional representation system. It gives voters more than one vote in the same ballot and allows them to distribute their votes between or among individual candidates from different party lists. Seats are allocated to parties based on party vote share, with the seats of a party going to the most-popular candidate(s) of that party.[2] It is therefore a mixture of proportional representation at the party level with primary elections at the individual candidate level, which are held by plurality block voting.
The system is used in legislative elections for Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Switzerland; in national elections in Ecuador, El Salvador, and Honduras; and in local elections in a majority of German states, in Czechia, and in French communes with under 1,000 inhabitants.[citation needed]
