What is Approval Voting?

Approval voting is a single-winner voting system that we believe is a simple and vastly superior replacement to the more commonly used plurality voting method. Each voter is free to "approve" any number of candidates, and the candidate with the greatest percentage of approval wins.

Approval voting allows voters to better express their personal opinions, since it enables them to support minor candidates without fear of "splitting the vote" and causing the opposing major candidate to win instead.

Organizations

Electology is a big proponent of approval voting and has used computer simulations to argue that AV leads to high levels of voter satisfaction.

RangeVoting.org supports AV as a simplified version of range voting.
