<blockquote>
In [[voting system]]s, the '''Minimax Condorcet method''' (often referred to as "'''the Minimax method'''") is one of several [[Condorcet method]]s used for tabulating votes and determining a winner when using [[Ranked voting systems|ranked voting]] in a [[single-member district|single-winner]] election. It is sometimes referred to as the '''Simpson–Kramer method''', and the '''successive reversal method'''.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}
Minimax selects as the winner the candidate whose greatest pairwise defeat is smaller than the greatest pairwise defeat of any other candidate: or, put another way, "the only candidate whose support never drops below [N] percent" in any pairwise contest.
