Instant Run-off, Irish Method…• Used by cities, countries, and in election of
the board of many US corporations.• It guarantees to conclude the election in one
round of voting.
Summary of the new rule

6 nominees.• In each “round” we either elect ONE
candidate or eliminate ONE candidate.• You are elected or eliminated based on the
number of ballots with your name on the top.
Summary of the procedure
