* '''Simple to tally—'''Approval ballots can be counted by some existing machines designed for plurality elections, as ballots are cast, so that final tallies are immediately available after the election, with relatively few if any upgrades to equipment.
* '''Just one round—'''Approval can remove the need for multiple rounds of voting, such as a [[Two-round system|primary]] or a [[Two-round system|run-off]], simplifying the election process.
* '''Avoids overvotes—'''Approval voting does not have the notion of overvotes, where voting for one more than allowed will cancel the entire opportunity to vote. In plurality elections, overvotes have to be reviewed and resolved if possible while in approval voting, no time is wasted on this activity.
