Minet Ranked-Choice Voting
Minet Ranked-Choice Voting (MRCV) is a variation of Baldwin's method proposed by Roy A. Minet, who claims it to be the "best possible ordinal voting method".[1]
Definition
Like Baldwin's method, MRCV uses a ranked ballot, and proceeds in a series of rounds, eliminating the candidate with the least number of points in each round until a candidate gets a majority of first-preference votes.
However, in MRCV, voters are limited to only expressing their top three rankings, they cannot express indifference (equal rankings), and the points are assigned to rankings non-linearly:
| Baldwin/Borda | MRCV | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 4 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 0 | 1 |
