Range Voting for Approval / Rejection of One Item

Hello EM!

Could you please point me to any resources that discuss range voting
specifically in the context of approving or rejecting a single item?

I found several resources discussing the tradeoffs of different aggregation
functions (i.e. mean, median, sum) when the agenda contains multiple items.
I would like to understand if restricting the agenda to one item changes
the tradeoffs associated with choosing an aggregation function.

All the best,

Carl
