Revision as of 04:03, 27 November 2020
Combined approval voting (CAV) is one of many approval methods where each voter may express approval, disapproval, or indifference toward each candidate. The term "combined approval voting (CAV)" was originally introduced by Dan Felsenthal in 1989.[1] In Felsenthal's 1989 paper, "the outcome of a CAV [election] is the candidate with the largest net vote total (algebraic sum of votes in favor and votes against)", but other tabulation algorithms are discussed on English Wikipedia (in the wikipedia:combined approval voting article).
When tabulated as described, CAV is a cardinal system. It was a variation on a system called disapproval voting.[2][3]
Other names for the system:
- "balanced approval voting (BAV)"[4][5]
- "approval with abstention option" (AWAO),[6]
- "true weight voting" (TWV1),[7][8]
- "evaluative voting (EV)"[9] (though the latter can also be used for variants with more than 3 values.)
- "net approval voting" [10][11][12] (though this term has a different definition in the context of approval-based committee selection).[13][14]
The introduction to this article was originally copied from English Wikipedia on November 26, 2020.[15]

k candidates ... each voter under CAV has k votes and can, with respect to each candidate, either cast one vote in favor of this candidate, or cast one vote against this candidate, or abstain from voting for this candidate. The outcome of a CAV ballot is the candidate with the largest net vote total (algebraic sum of votes in favor and votes against)

The three levels have the following interpretation: 1 means approval, 0 means indifference, abstention or ‘do not know’, and -1 means disapproval. ... We investigate the ‘dis&approval rule’, that selects the candidates who obtain the largest difference between the number of positive votes and the number of negative votes.
