TRANSFERABLE VOTE - Definition and synonyms of transferable vote in the English dictionary

WHAT DOES TRANSFERABLE VOTE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Instant-runoff voting

Instant-runoff voting, alternative vote, transferable vote, ranked choice voting, or preferential voting is an electoral system used to elect a single winner from a field of more than two candidates. It is a preferential voting system in which voters rank the candidates in order of preference rather than voting for a single candidate. Ballots are initially distributed based on each elector's first preference. If a candidate secures more than half of votes cast, that candidate wins. Otherwise, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Ballots assigned to the eliminated candidate are recounted and assigned to those of the remaining candidates who rank next in order of preference on each ballot. This process continues until one candidate wins by obtaining more than half the votes. IRV has the effect of avoiding split votes and the need for electors to vote "strategically" for candidates who are not their first choice. For example; suppose there are two similar party candidates A & B, and a third opposing candidate C, with raw popularity of 35%, 25% and 40% respectively.
