Ranked Voting

Ranked voting in the context of delegated voting allows voters to express their preferences by ranking candidates instead of selecting just one. Voters can assign their top choice a higher rank and list others in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their supporters' votes shift to their next preferred candidates. This process continues until one candidate achieves a majority. This system encourages a broader range of choices and can help ensure that the elected candidate has wider support among voters.
