===Proportional systems=== {{Main|Proportional representation}} The introduction of a proportional system is often proposed as the most effective solution to partisan gerrymandering.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Yglesias |first1=Matthew |title=The real fix for gerrymandering is proportional representation |url=https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/11/16453512/gerrymandering-proportional-representation |website=Vox |access-date=15 May 2019 |date=11 October 2017}}</ref> In such systems, the entire constituency is being represented proportionally to their votes. Even though voting districts can be part of a proportional system, the redrawing of district lines would not benefit a party, as those districts are mainly of organizational value, except where the [[district magnitude]] is small or a system which favors larger parties, such as [[D'Hondt method|d'Hondt]], is used. For example, instead of having three districts, a single large district would exist where the top three candidates in the election would all represent the district. It would be harder to gerrymander a district where there are multiple winners from that district.
