'''Quick Runoff''' or '''QR''' or '''Instant Chain Runoff''' is a method devised by Kevin Venzke which satisfies [[Later-no-harm]] but, unlike [[IRV]], can sometimes elect the candidate with the fewest first preferences.

The method is so named because in the three-candidate case it is not as "instant" as [[IRV]], as instead of a single top-two runoff, there is first a simulated runoff between the top two candidates, and then potentially the bottom two candidates.
