Approval Voting is Inexpensive

Approval Voting can be easily handled by existing voting machines as well as the new breed of electronic machines that are already rolling out across the country. Unlike systems that require voters to rank the candidates, Approval Voting does not require large scale retooling.

As we discussed elsewhere, re-education for Approval Voting is not only simple but it is less critical in nature. Thus re-education expense is reasonable and downright cheap compared with other alternative voting systems that require ranking the candidates or else assigning various number of points to various candidates.

It is also worth noting that the Approval Voting system never requires expensive runoff elections. The only ambiguous result that is possible is an exact tie and that is an exceedingly rare event that no voting system can avoid.
