Line 1:
Any election method conforming to the [[Condorcet criterion]] - that is, one which always elects the pairwise champion if such exists - is known as a '''Condorcet method'''. The name comes from the 18th century mathematician and philosopher [[Marquis de Condorcet]], although the method was previously described by [[Ramon Llull]] in the 13th century.
At present, the synonymous phrase '''"Instant Round Robin Voting" (IRRV)''' is being coined to leverage the public's greater familiarity with [[IRV | Instant Runoff Voting]] (IRV). This phrase is currently being used in a [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Condorcet legislative effort] to implement a Condorcet variant ([[CSSD]]) in the state of Washington.
