With a ranked choice ballot, you get to rank candidates in order of preference when you go to vote.
At first, all of the first choices will be counted up. If one candidate has over 50% of the vote, the election is over. That candidate wins. If not, the last place candidate is eliminated and the vote is redistributed.
1st Choice
2nd Choice
3rd Choice
4th Choice
5th Choice
The people who voted for the eliminated candidate have their votes redistributed to their next choice. This process repeats until a candidate has a majority.
