Why not go one step further and give voters more flexibility?  Simply ask
them to give each candidate a rank, and also a yes/no.  The ballot wouldn't
be all that much more complicated.  Then they could participate in every
pairwise contest if they so wish and also specify their approval cut-off if
no Condorcet winner exists.
