“If ranked-choice voting had been used for the Provo election, Odell Miner would have been eliminated in the first round,” the website states. “Then for the second round, Miner’s voters could have had their second choice candidate included in the final count. The final vote would have included everyone’s choices and would have shown a clear majority winner.”
Another recent example of a candidate winning an election with no majority was the 2016 presidential election, in which Donald Trump won the state of Utah with only 45 percent of the vote, the remainder split between Hillary Clinton and third-party candidate Evan McMullin.
Roberts said ranked-choice voting, or instant runoff voting, changes the dynamic of how people vote. Many people, particularly younger people, are frustrated with the current system."
