IRV can be done with equal ranking allowed. The two main ways of doing this are either fractional (split the voter's ballot equally between all of their highest-ranked candidates that are ranked equally (3 candidates ranked 1st each get 1/3rd of a vote)), or whole votes (give each highest-equally-ranked candidate one vote (3 candidates get 1 vote each and 3 votes total)). |
