Rated voting refers to any electoral system which allows the voter to give each candidate an independent evaluation, typically a rating or grade.^[1] These are also referred to as cardinal, evaluative, or graded voting systems.^{[citation needed]} Cardinal methods (based on cardinal utility) and ordinal methods (based on ordinal utility) are the two modern categories of voting systems.^[2]^[3]^[4]

European Journal of Political Economy. 55: 14–28. doi:10.1016/j.ejpoleco.2017.09.006. ISSN 0176-2680. A key feature of evaluative voting is a form of independence: the voter can evaluate all the candidates in turn ... another feature of evaluative voting ... is that voters can express some degree of preference.

Cardinal utility is a measure of preferences on a scale of cardinal numbers, such as the scale from zero to one or the scale from one to ten.
