Approval block voting (also called unlimited voting) is a winner-take-all system where each voter either approves or disapproves of each candidate, and the k candidates with the most approval votes win (where k is the predetermined committee size). [1] [2] It does not provide proportional representation. [2]
Candidates are running in a 3 member district of the 10000 voters. Voters may not cast more than one vote for a single candidate.
Party A has about 35% support among the electorate (with one particularly well-like candidate), Party B around 25% (with two well-like candidates) and the remaining voters primarily support independent candidates, but mostly lean towards party B if they have to choose between the two parties. All voters vote sincerely, there is no tactical voting.
