'''Cardinal voting methods''', aka '''evaluative''', '''rated''', '''graded''', or '''range'''
Cardinal voting is when each voter can assign a numerical score to each candidate. Strictly speaking, cardinal voting can pass more information than the ordinal (rank) voting. This can clearly be seen by the fact that a rank can be derived from a set of numbers provided there are more possible numbers than candidates. Unlike ordinal voting, [[W:Arrow's Impossibility Theorem|Arrow's Impossibility Theorem]] does not apply to cardinal methods. Furthermore, all cardinal methods satisfy the participation criterion.
