Ranked Pairs is a voting method used to determine the winner in elections where voters rank candidates in order of preference. The process involves comparing each pair of candidates based on the votes they receive. For each pair, the candidate with the most votes is awarded a point, and these points are tallied to find the overall winner. This method is designed to reflect the preferences of voters more accurately than simple majority voting. By considering all ranked choices, Ranked Pairs helps to minimize the impact of tactical voting and ensures that the winning candidate has broad support among the electorate.
