Page "Approval voting" Paragraph 9

Approval voting has been adopted by the Mathematical Association of America ( 1986 ), the Institute of Management Sciences ( 1987 ) ( now the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences ), the American Statistical Association ( 1987 ), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( 1987 ).

According to Steven J. Brams and Peter C. Fishburn, the IEEE board in 2002 rescinded its decision to use approval voting.

IEEE Executive Director Daniel J. Senese stated that approval voting was abandoned because " few of our members were using it and it was felt that it was no longer needed.
