Choose One Plurality Voting only satisfies the Equal Vote Criterion in elections with two candidates only. Instant Runoff Voting (often referred to as Ranked Choice Voting) does not satisfy and the Equal Vote Criterion.
=== '''Vote unitarity''' ===
One generalization of the Equally Weighted Vote for the multi-winner or proportional context is [[Vote unitarity|vote unitarity]]. There is some controversy over whether or how relevant it is in that context, but the idea is that when a voter is "maximally satisfied" with one representative (they gave one of the winners a perfect score), they should not have any influence on selecting the other winners. Note that there are nuances to this; if, say, every voter gives one of the winners a perfect score, then instead of everyone's vote having no influence on the other winners, vote unitarity tries to ensure some kind of proportional decrease in voting power such that every voter still has a significant amount of influence on the remaining winners. In summary, there is a proportional relationship between how much support the voters give to the winners and the amount of influence that is removed from the voters, to ensure that every voter has a chance to fairly elect someone they prefer. The prominent [[Reweighted Range Voting]] method fails vote unitarity.
