[[Wikimedia explicit approval elections|Wikimedia and Wikipedia elections]] are held using an equivalent system, in which voters must choose ''Support'', ''Oppose'', or ''Neutral'' for every candidate.
[[w:Ballot initiative|Ballot initiative]]s and judicial [[w:retention election|retention election]]s are similar to Explicit Approval, in that voters may vote Yes, No, or abstain on each option, and they are passed/retained if the Y/(Y+N) ratio is greater than 50%. There is sometimes a quorum participation rule. For example, in [[Nebraska]], a ballot initiative must receive Yes or No votes from at least 35% of those who cast ballots in the general election (less than 65% abstention) to be valid.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Initiative Process 101|url=http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/initiative-process-101.aspx|website=National Conference of State Legislatures|access-date=2019-11-23}}</ref>
