Score voting
open-in-new
<p>Score voting, sometimes called range voting, is an <a href="/facts/Electoral_system/e6zvx3Bo">electoral system</a> for single-seat elections. Voters give each candidate a numerical score, and the candidate with the highest average score is elected. Score voting includes the well-known <a href="/facts/Approval_voting/XBp98Jrf">approval voting</a> (used to calculate <a href="/facts/Approval_ratings/kJCDcW6X">approval ratings</a>), but also lets voters give partial (in-between) approval ratings to candidates. </p>
