Overview
Ranked voting is a voting system that allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, rather than simply selecting one candidate. This system is used in various forms around the world, including instant-runoff voting (IRV) and the single transferable vote system (STV). Ranked voting systems vary in how preferences are tabulated and counted, giving them different properties. The use of ranked voting systems has been advocated for by various organizations and individuals, including the FairVote organization and John Oliver. Ranked voting has been used in several countries, including Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. The League of Women Voters supports the implementation of ranked voting systems.
