Line 207:
A voter ranks candidates in order of preference, additionally indicating approval cutoff, using a ballot like the following:
<pre>
┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
+-----------------------+---------------+
|│ RANKING |│
├───────┬───────┬───────┬───────┬───────┤
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
|│ 1 |│ 2 |│ 3 |│ 4 |│ 5 |│
────────────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┤
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
X1 |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
X2 |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
X3 |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
X4 |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
DISAPPROVED |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
────────────┴───────┴───────┴───────┴───────┴───────┘
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
</pre>
 
As an example, say a voter ranked candidates as follows:
<pre>
┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
+-----------------------+---------------+
|│ RANKING |│
├───────┬───────┬───────┬───────┬───────┤
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
|│ 1 |│ 2 |│ 3 |│ 4 |│ 5 |│
────────────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┤
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
X1 |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ (X●) |│ ( ) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
X2 |│ (X●) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
X3 |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ (X●) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
X4 |│ ( ) |│ (X●) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
|│ |│ |│ |│ |│ |│
DISAPPROVED |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│ (X●) |│ ( ) |│ ( ) |│
────────────┴───────┴───────┴───────┴───────┴───────┘
------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
</pre>
 
We summarize this ballot as
X2 > X4 >> X1 > X3
where the ">>" indicates the approval cutoff ---— candidates to the right of that sign receive no approval votes. This ballot is counted as
X2 > X2 (approval point)
X2 > X4
