3.14 Runoff Method (2)

• In our example we have 12 voters, therefore the majority is equal to 7, but examining preference table we can see that there is no majority winner.

• Let us eliminate the weakest candidate, then constituents vote again (for simplicity, we assume that their preference schedule is the same as during the first round of election, and also that voters supporting B do not vote.).

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

• The winner is A.
