'''Exhausted choices''' (not to be confused with [[Exhausted_ballot | Exhausted ballots]]) are ballot rankings that are not considered in rounds of an election using some variation of IRV / RCV (single winner) and [[Single Transferable Vote|Single Transferable Vote (STV)]] due to elimination in prior rounds. The ballot rankings get eliminated because ''all'' candidates who appear in the particular ballot/ranking were eliminated from the election's prior rounds of tallying. The practice of eliminating ballots from consideration is sometimes referred to as '''ballot exhaustion'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ballot exhaustion |url=https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_exhaustion |access-date=2023-02-27 |website=Ballotpedia |language=en}}</ref> Single-winner STV is sometimes referred to as "instant-runoff voting" or "ranked-choice voting".
