Line 1:
= Ballot=
The ballot form can be visually displayed in many distinct ways. For Noncomparative Favourability Voting, a voter may rate approval and disapproval on two slider bars for each candidate/party. That would look like this example of a single voter voting:
Candidate A:
*Approval: [ +75.24% ]
* Disapproval: [ –37.80% ]
Candidate B:
*Approval: [ +51.40% ]
*Disapproval: [ –27.86% ]
The net favourability given by the voter in this circumstance for Candidate A is +75.24 - 37.80 = +37.44% and Candidate B is +51.40 - 27.86 = +23.54%. These percentages given by the voter would then be summed into the candidate's overall rating.
In the case of Pairwise Favourability Voting, the ballot will look much more complex. There are very much lots of different ways yet again, but great one, for example, would be through a pairwise table:
{| class="wikitable"
|+Approval
|-
!Candidate!!A!!B!!C!!Sum
|-
|A||+65.60||+32.80||+44.44||+142.84
|-
|B||+59.62||+60.80||+34.34||+154.76
|-
|C||+42.40||+54.34||+68.66 ||'''+165.51'''
|}
{| class="wikitable"
|+Disapproval
|-
!Candidate!!A!!B!!C!!Sum
|-
|A|| '''–33.58'''||–64.40||–51.69||–149.67
|-
| B||'''–41.40'''|| –57.51||–55.80 ||–154.71
|-
|C||–36.80|| –45.20||–66.32||'''–148.32'''
|}
The overall results for this person as in effects to the rest of the election's outcome from the three-way election example above would look like this:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
Totals
|-
! Candidate!!A!!B!! C
!Sum
|-
|A||+32.02|| –31.60||–7.25 ||–6.83
|-
|B||+18.22||+3.29||–21.46||+0.05
|-
|C||+5.60||+9.14||+2.34||'''+17.19'''
|}
Candidate A would be set to lose -6.83pp while Candidate B would make a slight gain of +0.05pp, with Candidate C marginally winning over this voter, picking up a total addition of +17.19 percentage points to the candidates' sum.
An interesting, possibly better and wherein a perhaps slightly less time-consuming way lies would be to have voters place each candidate and party's performances against each other together on a grand interactive 2D Cartesian plane matrix, filled out by moving the their dots to whichever coordinates they choose. It would be scaled out this way: with the X axis as being disapproval and Y axis as being approval. Those with eyesight problems can also scale in and out (through a zoom in and out function).
This way, technically speaking voters do not have to open any more "windows" within this than they would with regular score voting, while also at the same time having the opportunity to express more deeply their preference and opinion.
=Outcomes=
Let's try an election with twice as many candidates (6).
