How results are calculated (IRV with head-to-head tie-breaks)

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 that supported an eliminated candidate transfer to the next ranked remaining choice.
  • Repeat: Continue until one candidate remains (the winner).
Tie-break for elimination: If multiple candidates are tied for the fewest votes in a round, we break the tie using head-to-head comparisons among only the tied candidates:
  • For each pair, we count how many ballots rank candidate A above candidate B (and vice versa).
  • The tied candidate with the most head-to-head losses is eliminated.
  • If still tied, we eliminate the candidate with the worst net margin across those head-to-head matchups.
  • If still tied, we use a deterministic fallback (alphabetical) so results are repeatable.
Note: Candidates who received no votes on any ballot are not included in the final placement display.
