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 more than 50% of the first-choice votes, they win outright. If no candidate achieves this 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 winning candidate has broader support among voters. It can reduce the impact of spoiler candidates, encourage more diverse candidates to run, and promote a more civil campaign atmosphere.
