Range voting is a single-winner voting system in which each vote consists of one numerical score from 0 to U awarded to each candidate, where U is some positive number. In single-digit range voting U is 9, while two-digit range voting has U=99. (One could also consider permitting the interval to be, e.g. $[-10, 10]$ .) The candidate with the highest average score wins. In a common variant, ``X'' scores also are permitted for candidates (meaning:``I wish to express no opinion about this candidate''). For example
(46,0,32,99) could be one vote in a 4-candidate two-digit range voting election; advise 99/0 for best/worst.
Approval voting [1] is the degenerate form of range voting in which there are only two allowed scores: 0 and 1.
