““Ranked choice voting (RCV) is an election method in which voters rank candidates for an office in order of their preference (first choice, second choice, third choice, and so on). If a candidate receives more than half of the first-choice votes, that candidate wins, just like in any other election.

”However, if there is no majority winner after counting first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and voters who ranked that candidate as their first choice will have their votes count toward their next choice. This process continues until a majority winner—a candidate with more than half of the vote—is determined.””
