3.10 Instant Runoff Method (3)

Consider another example. Now we have:

Ranking	ABCD	BACD	BCAD	DCAB	CBAD
No. of Votes	4	2	1	2	5

• Eliminating the candidate D we get:

Ranking	ABC	ACB	BAC	BCA	CAB	CBA
No. of Votes	4	0	2	1	2	5

• The majority equals 8, so we still do not have the winner. We have to drop the second candidate, namely B.

Ranking	AC	AC	AC	CA	CA	CA
No. of Votes	4	0	2	1	2	5

• Can we declare the winner for now?
