voter approval
Electorate's favorable opinion
Voter approval is the formal consent of an electorate, typically expressed through a ballot measure or referendum.
Certain actions—tax increases, bond issues, constitutional amendments—require voter approval before taking effect: The stadium project needs voter approval in November.
The term also describes general public sentiment toward officials: The governor's voter approval has dropped sharply.
