Technically, consensus voting is syntactically identical to [[approval voting]]; however, it is different from [[approval voting]] semantically. Specifically, voters are asked which alternatives they [[consent]] (as opposed to approve with approval voting). This semantic difference is important because it ensures that consensus voting satisfies the [[unanimous consensus criterion]] and [[greatest possible consensus criterion]]. |
