On a rated ballot, the voter may rate each choice independently.An approval voting ballot does not require ranking or exclusivity.
Rated voting refers to any electoral system which allows the voter to give each candidate an independent evaluation, typically a rating or grade.[1] These are also referred to as cardinal, evaluative, or graded voting systems.[citation needed]
Cardinal methods (based on cardinal utility) and ordinal methods (based on ordinal utility) are the two modern categories of voting systems.[2][3][4]

European Journal of Political Economy. 55: 14–28. doi:10.1016/j.ejpoleco.2017.09.006. ISSN 0176-2680. A key feature of evaluative voting is a form of independence: the voter can evaluate all the candidates in turn ... another feature of evaluative voting ... is that voters can express some degree of preference.

OCLC 316034736. Ordinal utility is a measure of preferences in terms of rank orders—that is, first, second, etc. ... Cardinal utility is a measure of preferences on a scale of cardinal numbers, such as the scale from zero to one or the scale from one to ten.
