In committee elections it is often assumed that voters only (dis)approve of each candidate or that they rank all candidates, as it is common for single-winner elections. We suggest an intermediate approach, where the voters rank the candidates into a fixed number of groups. This allows more diverse votes than approval votes, but leaves more freedom than in a linear order. A committee is then elected by applying the minisum or minimax approach to minimize the voters' dissatisfaction. We study the axiomatic properties of these committee election rules as well as the complexity of winner determination and show fixed-parameter tractability for our minimax rules.
