Phragmén's Method is a proportional method that works without lists.
In 2002 there was a thread on the EM mailing list with subject "D'Hondt without lists" mentioning the Phragmén method.
Each elected candidate has a load of 1 which is distributed among his voters.
The load of a candidate is not distributed evenly among its N voters, but rather such that each of the candidate's voters end up with the same cumulated load.
In the case of 1 candidate to be elected, Phragméns method degenerates to Approval voting (because the candidate resulting in the minimal load on each voter is the one with most voters to share the load).
