Ranked Choice Voting

Cast a Ballot

Select up to three distinct choices. Votes are stored locally in your browser so an accidental refresh does not lose ballots.

First Choice: Second Choice: Third Choice:

Ballots counted: 0

This vote uses Instant-Runoff Voting (IRV). Each ballot ranks up to three choices. The winner is determined through elimination rounds:

Round tally: In each round, every ballot counts for its highest-ranked remaining candidate.
Eliminate lowest: The candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated.
Transfer votes: Ballots for eliminated candidates transfer to the next ranked remaining choice.
Repeat: Continue until one candidate remains.

Tie-break for elimination (in order):

Total support count: Among the tied candidates, eliminate the candidate that appears on the fewest ballots (appearing anywhere in the top 3).
Head-to-head comparisons: If still tied, compare only the tied candidates pairwise using ballots that rank both. Eliminate the candidate with the most head-to-head losses.
Net head-to-head margin: If still tied, eliminate the candidate with the worst net margin across those head-to-head matchups.
Deterministic fallback: If still tied, eliminate alphabetically (A→Z) to keep results repeatable.

Note: Candidates who received no votes on any ballot are excluded from the final placement display.
