Coombs' method or the Coombs rule[1] is a ranked voting system which uses a ballot counting method for ranked voting created by Clyde Coombs. Coombs' method can be thought of as a cross between instant-runoff voting and anti-plurality voting.
Like instant runoff, Coombs' method candidate elimination and redistribution of votes cast for that candidate until one candidate has a majority of votes. However, unlike instant-runoff, each round eliminates the candidate rated last by the most voters (instead of first by the fewest voters).
