Ranked Approval Voting is a '''[[Condorcet method]]''', which means it always elects a "Condorcet winner" if one exists. A Condorcet winner is a candidate who,whom givenmore anyvoters otherrank candidateabove ''Y'' than vice versa, moregiven votersany rank thisother candidate above ''Y'' than vice versa.
 
If a Condorcet winner doesn't initially exist, then the candidate with the least approval is eliminated such that his pairwise contests are no longer considered. These eliminations continue until a Condorcet winner is created; that is, until some non-eliminated candidate has pairwise wins over every other non-eliminated candidate. Then this candidate is elected.
