=== Goal ===
:<blockquote>Hold a primary election with an Approval Voting-style ballot, providing motivation for all candidates to achieve the highest approval rating, and resulting in a general election Ballot Satisfaction Score of at least 75%. The "Ballot Satisfaction Score" is the percentage of the electorate which approves of at least one candidate on a given ballot.</blockquote>
:Candidates advancing to the general election must qualify for one of the following "Pools". Candidates that don't qualify for one of the Pools below are "Non-advanced Candidates". By default, all candidates are Non-advanced Candidates until they qualify for one of these Pools: ▼
:* "Supermajority Candidate Pool" - all candidates who receive greater than 75% approval ▼=== Pools ===
:* "Plurality Candidate Pool" - all candidates who receive greater than 50% approval, but do not qualify for the Supermajority Candidate Pool. If no candidate receives greater than 50% approval, this pool will contain one candidate with less than 50% approval. ▼▲:Candidates advancing to the general election must qualify for one of the following "Pools".
