| Description: | To allow society to treat unequal alternatives distinctly we propose a natural exten-sion of Approval Voting [7] by relaxing the assumption of neutrality. According to this extension, every alternative receives ex-ante a non-negative and finite weight. These weights may differ across alternatives. Given the voting decisions of every individual (individuals are allowed to vote for, or approve of, as many alternatives as they wish to), society elects all alternatives for which the product of total num-ber of votes times exogenous weight is maximal. Our main result is an axiomatic characterization of this voting procedure. |
