Ranked choice voting is an electoral system that allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference rather than selecting just one. If a candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, they win. However, if no candidate achieves a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the voters' next preferences. This process continues until a candidate secures a majority. This voting method aims to ensure that the elected candidate has broader support among the electorate. It can reduce the impact of vote-splitting and encourage more diverse candidates, as voters can express their preferences without fear of wasting their vote.
