Condorcet IRV is a Condorcet-IRV hybrid that elects the Condorcet winner if one exists, and otherwise performs instant-runoff voting.

It is a simplification of more complex Condorcet-IRV hybrids like Benham's method or IRV Prime, and provides a simpler approach when there is a Condorcet winner.

The term "Condorcet IRV" is also sometimes used to refer to Benham's method, or to an unspecified Condorcet-IRV hybrid..

Procedure

Find the Condorcet winner and elect them; if there is no Condorcet winner, proceed with instant-runoff voting.
