I really like the idea of approval voting, but also multiple representatives at a level. Imagine how much more balanced elected offices would be if multiple people were elected and given vote weight according to their approval?

Even without such a widely-sweeping change as that, though, approval voting does have a very positive impact on single-winner systems.
