The '''"bottom-two-runoff-instant-runoff-voting method'''" (or "'''BTR-IRV method'''", and sometimes called "Better RCV") is an [[election method]] that selects a single winner using votes that express ranked preferences. It is a [[Condorcet-IRV hybrid_methods|Condorcet-IRV hybrid]] distinct from other hybrids like [[Smith//IRV]].
The process: take the two options with the fewest first preference votes. The pairwise loser out of those two options is eliminated, and the next preferences from those ballots are redistributed. This process repeats until there is only one option remaining, and that remaining option is the winner.
