Instant Runoff Voting Example

The ballot for ranked choice voting looks different than a typical ballot.

When the votes are tallied, the first-choice votes are counted first. If one candidate receives the required majority of votes, that candidate is the winner. If no candidate wins the required percentage of votes, the lowest vote-getting candidate is dropped from the ballot.

Another round of tallying begins. If a voter casts a 1st ranked vote for the candidate who was dropped, that person's vote will now be allocated to their 2nd choice candidate. When all votes have been allotted, if the 1st and 2nd choice votes added together now result in one candidate meeting the voting threshold, that candidate wins.

If no one achieves the required majority, the next lowest vote-getter is dropped and the tallying begins again. This continues until there is a clear winner.
