Ranked Choice voting (also known as “Instant Run-off”) allows a voting population to elect the most popular candidate from a pool of multiple candidates in a single election. Voters rank their choices, instead of voting for a single candidate. This allows the election tabulation process to re-assign the votes of the losing candidates to each of the remaining top candidates. Ranked Choice voting prevents a candidate from winning an election with only a plurality of votes. This allows candidates to compete in elections without fear that their presence on the ballot will hurt fellow candidates with similar platforms.
