Line 1:
'''Proportional approval voting''' (PAV) is a theoretical [[voting system]] for multiple-winner [[election]]selections, in which each voter can vote for as many or as few candidates as the voter chooses. It was developed by Forest Simmons in [[2001]].
 
PAV works by looking at how "satisfied" each voter is with each potential result or outcome of the of the election.
Line 25:
 
The system disadvantages minority groups who share some preferences with the majority. In terms of [[tactical voting]], it is therefore highly desirable to withhold approval from candidates who are likely to be elected in any case, as with [[cumulative voting]] and the [[single non-transferable vote]].
