https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_member_proportional_representation Used in Germany and NZ. Has the potentially fatal flaw of clined partys: "vote party A for local and party A' for list seats." Scotland uses a variant; Japan uses a further out variant that doesn't try to be proportional in the final result.
There's multiple ways of doing straight PR. Closed party list, where you just vote for the party. Open party list, where you can vote for a person and they jump up the list if they get $THRESHOLD votes. STV, where you get/have to exert more choice, and probably the districts are smaller so you're not overwhelmed. Re-weighted range voting, used by no one.
