I understand your concerns, but what's the alternative?
Something other than approval voting -- either simply "support" voting or a ranking system.
That seems unnecessary to me, however.
What is "support voting"? Any kind of preferential voting is far too complicated to be worth it in our case - you generally end up needing a computer program to calculate the results (or a hell of a lot of post it notes!).
I was meaning a simple lack of opposition. Maybe I am misunderstanding what is currently the proposal?
That sounds like approval voting to me. Approval voting is where you have a list of candidates and you tick the ones you approve of, those with the most votes win.
