'''Ranked Approval Voting''' (RAV) is an election method combining a ranked ballot with an approval measure.
RAV finds the same winner as [[Definite Majority Choice]].
== Ballot Format ==
To implement RAV, a voter uses a [[Preferential voting|ranked ballot]]. By default, any ranked candidates are considered approved. Depending on implementation, the voter may also add an [[Approval Cutoff|approval cutoff]] to indicate that some of the ranked candidates are not approved.
== Procedure ==
Ballots are tabulated into a [[Condorcet_method#Counting_with_matrices|pairwise matrix]].
Ranked Approval Voting is a '''[[Condorcet method]]''', which means it always elects a "Condorcet winner" if one exists. A Condorcet winner is a candidate whom more voters rank above ''Y'' than vice versa, given any other candidate ''Y''.▼
Repeat until a winner is found:
* Search for a candidate who is not defeated by any other non-eliminated candidates. If one is found, this is the RAV winner..
* If no RAV winner exists, the candidate with the least approval is eliminated —his pairwise contests are no longer considered.
The process repeats until some non-eliminated candidate pairwise defeats every other non-eliminated candidate.
