    Something that I think is frequently overlooked is approval voting! Why have a single transferable vote when a voter would be happy with more than one candidate?

      Thanks for your feedback!

      There are many kinds of electoral systems, but in this space limited format, I only selected the ones most commonly discussed.

      Unless you’re referring to multiwinner approval voting, I also don’t see the benefits of approval voting over STV, as approval voting is winner take all.

      If you are referring to multiwinner approval voting, then STV would still be superior, as it forces voters to consider which candidates are more preferred.
