Approval Voting shows a movement.

Maybe democracy could take a cue from social media.

Let voters “like” every candidate they actually support — and let the most broadly approved leader rise to the top.

We’ve already proven Approval methods works. We use them every day.

If social media used single-choice voting, engagement would collapse.

Approval Voting keeps it real — engaging, simple to use, fast to count, and it reflects what most people actually like.

Approval Voting lets you support all the candidates you truly like.

❌ No rankings. No transfers. No eliminations. No “ballot exhaustion.”
✅ Just count every approval — the candidate with the most wins.

Just like checking what’s trending on Social Media.

Now imagine if you could only “like” one post a day. Engagement would CRASH.

You’d hesitate to "spend" your one like. You might save it for something "safe." Smaller creators/niche content would vanish. The same big accounts would dominate.

That’s what single-choice voting does to elections.

And what happens next? The posts that get the most total likes rise to the top.

It’s instant, transparent, and fair.

We’ve all used Approval Voting — billions of times a day — without even realizing it.

Now think about how social media really works. You can “like” every post you genuinely enjoy — your friend’s photo, a meme, a news story — and each one counts.

That’s Approval Voting.

You approve of everything that resonates. Simple, natural, honest.

That’s how most elections work — you get one vote. One pick.

Even if you like several candidates, you can’t show it.

You’re forced to choose just one and hope you don’t “waste” your vote.
