Understanding Multi-Winner Ranked Choice Voting
February 14, 2018
Ranked choice voting (RCV) can be used as a voting method in single-winner or multi-winner elections. Previous webinars focused primarily on single-winner RCV, often referred to as instant runoff voting. This webinar explores multi-winner RCV, also known as the single transferable vote (STV).
The video used in the demo of How STV Works (timestamp 15:22) to reinforce multi-winner RCV/STV was removed from the recording. To view the STV video, check out Politics in the Animal Kingdom: Single Transferable Vote.
Note: This video uses a different calculation of the threshold covered in the webinar for simplicity purposes.
