Albert Heckscher was one of the earliest proponents, advocating for a form of score voting he called the "immanent method" in his 1892 dissertation, in which voters assign any number between -1 and +1 to each alternative, simulating their individual deliberation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last = Lagerspetz |first = Eerik |date = 2014-06-01 |title = Albert Heckscher on collective decision-making |journal = Public Choice |language = en |volume = 159 |issue = 3–4 |pages = 327–339 |doi = 10.1007/s11127-014-0169-z |s2cid = 155023975 |issn = 0048-5829 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title = Social choice and democratic values |last = Eerik |first = Lagerspetz |isbn = 9783319232614 |location = Cham |pages = 109 |oclc = 930703262 |date = 2015-11-26}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=gpQEtAEACAAJ |title = Bidrag til Grundlæggelse af en Afstemningslære: om Methoderne ved Udfindelse af Stemmeflerhed i Parlamenter |last = Heckscher |first = Albert Gottlieb |date = 1892 |language = da }}</ref>
