Ranked-Choice Voting

Ranked-choice voting (RCV), also known as instant runoff voting, improves fairness in elections by allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference, rather than just cast a single vote.

Votes that do not help a voter’s top choice achieve a majority will count toward their second choice and so on. The first candidate to reach 51% or more votes wins [1].
