Evaluative voting may refer to:

* Majority Judgment (MJ) a single-winner electoral system where each voter may grade each candidates' suitability for office: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Acceptable, Poor, or Reject. The winner is the one who receives support from and absolute majority of all the voters, the one who receives the highest median-grade.
* Evaluative Proportional Representation (EPR), in Proportional Representation, each voter grades each candidates' suitability for office: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Acceptable, Poor, or Reject. Each elected member of the legislature has a different weighted vote. Each member's weighted vote is composed of the number of highest grades, remaining highest grades, or proxy votes exclusively received from all the voters.
* Cardinal voting, any electoral system which allows the voter to give each candidate an independent rating or grade
   * Approval voting, a single-winner electoral system where each voter may select ("approve") any number of candidates
   * Combined approval voting, with a 3-valued Support/Oppose/Neutral scale (as named by Claude Hillinger)
