A way for voters to express their preferences for alternatives from which a choice has to be made. Sometimes a ballot is used to get information when a single alternative is to be chosen and sometimes when many alternatives are to be selected. Many new ballot types have recently been explored. The most common ballot types ask voters to pick a single alternative, to rank all the alternatives with no ties allowed, or to rank a subset of the alternatives with ties allowed or not allowed. A more novel type of ballot would require the alternatives be placed in to groups: those that are acceptable and these are all ranked with ties allowed and another group of those that are not acceptable.
