About
Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) helps to elect a candidate
who reflects a majority of voters in a single election
even when several viable candidates are in the race. RCV
is a way to ensure elections are fair for all voters. It
allows voters the option to rank candidates in order of
preference: one, two, three, and so forth.
This calculator is for races where voters select one
winner. If a candidate receives more than half of the
first choices, that candidate wins, just like in any
other election. However, if there is no majority winner
after counting first choices, the race is decided by an
"instant runoff." The candidate with the fewest votes is
eliminated, and voters who picked that candidate as
‘number 1’ will have their votes count for their next
choice. This process continues until there’s a majority
winner or a candidate won with more than half of the
vote.
