About Instant Runoff Voting

+ +

<%= link_to "Instant runoff voting", +"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_Runoff_Voting" %> is an electoral +system in which voters rank candidates in order of preference. In an IRV +election, if no candidate receives an overall majority of first +preferences the candidates with fewest votes are eliminated one by one, +and their votes transferred according to their second and third +preferences (and so on), until one candidate achieves a majority.

+ +

Instant-runoff voting (IRV) is also known as the Alternative Vote (AV) and +by several other names.
