"Approval Voting" (1988, book)

"Approval Voting," a book published in 1988, explores an electoral system where voters can endorse any number of candidates they find acceptable, rather than choosing just one. Each voter submits a ballot approving of their preferred candidates, and the candidate with the most approval votes wins. This system encourages honest expression of preferences, reduces strategic voting, and aims to better reflect the diverse opinions of the electorate. The book examines its advantages over traditional voting methods, potential challenges, and implications for democratic decision-making, providing a comprehensive analysis of how approval voting could improve electoral processes.
