WHAT IS INSTANT RUNOFF VOTING, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • IRV serves as an accurate measurement of the overall support for a candidate.

  • IRV has the voter rank their candidates by preference (first, second, third choice, etc.)

  • These rankings provide the means to initiate a second round of recording ballots if no candidate receives a majority of the votes after voting officially closes.

  • IRV guarantees the winning candidate has a majority of votes, rather than just a plurality.

WHEN WILL I KNOW WHICH CANDIDATES WON?

The election results public announcement will take place on May 14th, 2020 at a time TBD by the ASUW Elections Administration Committee.
