Symbolic voting methods, are one classes of voting. They are methods in which the voter can evaluate each candidate with a certain symbol among those of a set. Each symbol is associated with certain rules (mathematical formulas) that describe how it works when counting. These rules can make it different from a cardinal value, although cardinal values can be treated as symbols.
It's called Symbolic voting method if at least one non-cardinal symbol can be used
If the symbols can be sorted in some way, then the set of symbols is called "range of symbols", or even just "range" (in a Symbolic voting context). In this case there will be a maximum and minimum rating (extremes of the range), and possibly intermediate ratings.
===Example===
A simple example of symbols are [worst] and [best], which can be used by a voter as a rating for a candidate, but which
''On the extreme, the words of the language are symbols therefore a voting method in which the voters describe their interests, and then have them analyzed by an algorithm that finds the winning candidate, it could be considered a Symbolic voting systems.''
