(→Wikimedia elections: Made the #Wikimedia elections section clearer and more accurate. Saying that Wikimedia's system is "generally" like a 2-level score system obfuscates how Wikimedia's 3-level system works) |
(Removing misleading portion of the summary section which doesn't help the reader, but instead makes an unhelpful comparison to score) |

'''Explicit approval''' voting is a [[Ratings ballot|rated voting system]] which is essentially [[Approval voting]] with abstentions. In order to allow abstention, voters must explicitly state disapproval. So, the ballot will list ''Approve'' and ''Disapprove'' for each candidate, and leaving a candidate without either mark represents abstention. The winner is the candidate who has the highest approval among those who didn't abstain: A/(A+D)<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Explicit Approval & Hybrid Approval voting|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/c6chef/explicit_approval_hybrid_approval_voting/|website=r/EndFPTP subreddit|access-date=2019-08-12|language=en}}</ref> |

Approval voting is generally equivalent to 2-level [[Score voting]] (where the levels are "0" and "1"). Explicit Approval is equivalent to 2-level Score voting where voters may explicitly abstain, and the default choice is to abstain. |
