Approval Rate = (Support Votes ÷ Total Votes) × 100%

To keep results fair, each visitor is limited to one vote per official or party through privacy-preserving browser fingerprinting, and you can change your vote at any time without creating an account.

Think of them as a real-time pulse of engaged citizens that complements professional polling.
