In Denmark there are 10 districts in total of varying sizes but each elect between 2 and 20 representatives for a total of 135, accounting for about 77% of the seats in parliament. 40 additional seats are then distributed in order to fit a party's amount of seats with their national result.
As a vote you either vote for a party or a person.
Each election a party either decides to let their members' personal votes decide their ranking when deciding who receives a seat, or they publish a ranking before the election. In that case a party member's personal votes are practically a vote for the party. You vote for a specific party member can then go to someone else of that party.
