I also prefer Approval Voting (although if it were an approval vote, I would approve of both Approval Voting and Ranked Choice, heh).
One question to ask yourself to figure out which system you like better is what the outcome should be of this election:
Candidate 1 is loved by 55% of the population and despised by 45%. Candidate 2 is loved by 45% of the population and despised by 55%. Candidate 3 is tolerated by 85%.
Approval Voting would choose Candidate 3. IRV would choose Candidate 1. Who "should" be elected?
- johnsonav 10y agoUnder approval voting, wouldn't the people who love candidate 1 realize that they should vote strategically, and not approve of candidate 3 on their ballots, causing candidate 1 to win this election?

- ClayShentrup 10y agoThe correct social welfare function is cardinal/utilitarian. Math that proves this. http://scorevoting.net/UtilFoundns.html http://scorevoting.net/UtilFoundns.html So the right answer is presumably #3, although you didn't specify exact utilities so I don't know for sure.
