# '''Voters Prefer, Accept, or Reject each candidate.''' On ballots which don't explicitly use "Reject", or for candidates with less than 25% "Prefer", blanks count as "Reject"; otherwise, blanks count as "Accept".
# '''Of the candidates with no more than 50% "Reject", the one with mostEach "Prefer"s is calledworth the1 frontrunnerpoint.'''

Note that the procedure above will always elect a candidate that'swith bothno viablemore andthan acceptable50% "Reject", if any exist. It will usually, but not always, elect the "leader" as defined above. Each candidate's score at the end can be seen as an approval total, and is thus suitable for combining with approval totals from other jurisdictions in a system like the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
 
A related system which passes [[FBC]] is [[FBPPAR]]. This has the same steps, except that voters can choose to mark any of their "preferred" candidates as "stand aside". "Stand aside" preferences are counted as rejections when finding the leader, but as preference when assigning points.
