Approval voting.

The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) employs a voting process called approval voting.

This means that INFORMS members can vote for as many candidates as they think are qualified for a position. According to Bylaw 3: Elections shall be conducted by approval voting, whereby each voter may vote for any number of candidates for an office and the individual elected shall be the one receiving the largest number of votes. … A quorum for membership voting is 10 percent of the members eligible to vote.

INFORMS elections are held in the fall, in recent years running from August through the end of September by means of electronic voting.
