On an approval ballot, the voter can select any number of candidates.

An approval ballot is a ballot type in which the voter is given a list of candidates and must, for each candidate, either approve them, or disapprove them. Usually this is indicated by letting the voter mark the candidates they approve, and assuming that unmarked candidates are disapproved. Approval ballots are used by Approval voting, Explicit approval voting, Proportional approval voting, Combined approval voting, etc.
