'''Proportional approval voting''' (PAV) is a theoretical [[voting system]] for multiple-winner elections, in which each voter can vote for as many or as few candidates as the voter chooses. It was developed by the Danish polymath Thorvald N. Thiele<ref>http://www2.math.uu.se/~svante/papers/sjV6.pdf</ref> and then rediscovered 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.
