'''Explicit approval voting''' refers [[approval voting]] elections where the ballots allow for abstentions. To allow for this, an option is provided to explicitly state disapproval. So, the ballot will list ''Approve'' and ''Disapprove'' for each candidate (and may also have a ''Neutral'' option). Leaving a candidate without without "Approve" or "Disapprove" implies "Neutral" (and implies abstaining from voting).

It is important to note, however, that this '''is not''' an example of Score Voting because it does not determine a winner by a simple sum of score values.
