Paper 2023/1920 , University of Warwick, University of Warwick, University of Warwick Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) is one example of ranked-choice voting. It provides many known benefits when used in elections, such as minimising vote splitting, ensuring few votes are wasted, and providing resistance to strategic voting.
