Ranked Choice Voting

A simple tool to experiment with ranked choice voting, and more specifically instant-runoff voting.

The winner is determined as follows:

  1. Votes are tallied. If a candidate exceeds 50% of all 1st place votes, they win.
  2. If no candidate exceeds 50% of all 1st place votes, the candidate with the fewest 1st place votes is eliminated and their votes reallocated as 1st place votes to the candidates ranked second on those ballots.
  3. This process repeats until a candidate exceeds 50% of 1st place votes.
