People hate change.

A few of us have been sneaking approval voting in wherever it makes sense. Familiarize people with the process.

One example is we use approval voting for prioritorizing our motions during membership meetings. Previously, our endorsement process was a major food fight, was way too dependent on the order which motions (from the floor) were recognized (unfair, yielding results not representative of the membership) and took way too long.

Now, using approval voting to pre-rank the motions, everyone sees the process is open, fair, accountable.
