'''Definition of Benham's method:'''
{{definition|Do IRV,
the other un-eliminated candidates, and elect them if they exist.
X beats Y if more ballots rank X over Y than rank Y over X.}}
Benham's method is a [[Generalized Condorcet criterion|Smith-efficient]] [[Condorcet method]]. This is because there will always be a point in the count where at least one Smith Set member is uneliminated, and that candidate must beat all other candidates by virtue of being in the Smith Set. Benham's method fails [[ISDA]], however. <ref>http://www.votingmatters.org.uk/ISSUE29/I29P1.pdf</ref>
