Last Chance Recounts (IRV+/-).
The diagram illustrates an election with ten ballots. If held using First past the post ballots, without strategic voting, the first choices count up just like the X's in a First Post the Post election. Candidate "A" wins with 4 votes. Using IRV, Candidate "A" still wins, this time with 5 votes ... that's better and it can claim to be a majority (of the unexhausted votes). Click on the illustration to follow the Last Chance Recount process in search of a better result.
