We are often asked, where Approval Voting has been used... that's easy! We have detailed reports always available at https://approval.vote/ Check it out!

For the average voter, the change from "Choose One" to "Choose All Acceptable" seems minor, even though the political impact is profound. It's an "invisible" administrative improvement that is easy to overlook but giving more choice to voters is why we're in this fight.

Of course, proportional representation (for assemblies) and approval voting (for executive roles) are The Correct Answer™. Socialize and normalize better election systems. eg I introduced approval voting to my local party (for endorsements). So much better (less drama) and so it stuck.

Approval voting is actually better than "ranked choice".

Voting reform in particular can have a huge impact on third party viability. Cardinal systems like approval or STAR combined with multi-seat proportional elections can work together and overcome inertia.

If NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary had been tabulated as Approval Voting — where ranking in any position counts as a “yes” — it would’ve revealed: ✅ Mamdani’s supermajority ✅ Voters’ clear progressive agenda ❌ Cuomo’s shot in the dark

2025 NYC Dem Mayor Primary votes of approval Mamdani: 640,340 ( 59.6 %) Lander: 632,911 ( 58.9 %) Adams: 579,587 ( 54.0 %) Cuomo: 490,400 ( 45.7 %) RCV made it look close. Approval Voting shows a movement.

You already have the Greens to shave off votes and help Republicans, what more do you need? When ranked choice voting or approval voting (or both) becomes the norm, we can talk more about new parties.

If mpls mayoral choices were tabulated as approval voting (ranking in any position counts as yes), Jazz would've won: Frey: 80242 (54.3%) Fateh: 72912 (49.4%) Davis: 77852 (52.7%) Hampton: 81508 (55.2%)

To every veteran and their family: Thank you. Your extraordinary service and sacrifice for our country will never be forgotten. We honor you today. Happy Veterans Day!

Democracy depends on innovation! Currently, nonprofits bringing better voting methods to communities are massively underfunded. A gift from you provides the crucial support we need to make voting accessible, fair, & modern for everyone. Join the movement! electionscience.org/giving
