Ranked-choice voting (RCV) is a majoritarian voting system. In a ranked-choice voting system, voters rank candidates in order of preference rather than voting for just one candidate. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and votes are redistributed to remaining candidates based on the next preferences indicated on voters' ballots. This process continues until a candidate achieves a majority of votes.

Thus, ranked-choice voting aims to ensure that elected officials have broader support and are chosen in a way that reflects the preferences of the majority rather than merely the plurality.
