Ranked-choice voting (RCV) can refer to one of several ranked voting methods used in some cities and states in the United States. The term is not strictly defined, but most often refers to instant-runoff voting (IRV) or single transferable vote (STV).
RCV is used for state primary, congressional, and presidential elections in Maine; and for state, congressional, and presidential general elections in Alaska. It is used for local elections in 47 US cities including Salt Lake City and Seattle.[2] The San Francisco Bay Area and Minnesota also have a relatively large number of cities using the system.[3] It is also used by the Virginia, Utah, and Indiana Republican parties in state conventions and primaries.[4][5][6] As a contingency in the case of a runoff election, RCV ballots are used by overseas voters in six states.[2]
