Approval voting is a well-known voting procedure for single-winner elections. Voters approve of as many candidates as they like, and the candidate with the most approvals wins (Brams and Fishburn 1978, 1983, 2005). But Merrill and Nagel (1987) point out that there are many ways to aggregate approval votes to determine a winner, justifying a distinction between
approval balloting
, in which each voter submits a ballot that identifies the candidates the voter approves of, and
approval voting
, the procedure of ranking the candidates according to their total numbers of approvals.
