'''Ranked Choice Including Pairwise Elimination''' (abbreviated as '''RCIPE''' which is pronounced "recipe") is an election vote-counting method that uses ranked ballots and eliminates '''pairwise losing candidates''' (elimination-round-specific [[Condorcet loser criterion|Condorcet losers]]) when they occur, and otherwise eliminates the candidate who currently has the smallest top-choice count.

This method modifies [[Instant-Runoff Voting|instant runoff voting]] (IRV) by adding the elimination of pairwise losing candidates. This addition reduces the failure rate for the [[Independence of irrelevant alternatives|Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives]] (IIA), which is the kind of failure that occurred in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Burlington_mayoral_election 2009 mayoral election in Burlington, Vermont].  This check for pairwise losing candidates considers all the marks on all the ballots, which contrasts with IRV, which does not consider all the marks on all the ballots.

This method further modifies simple IRV by specifying how to handle ballots on which the voter has marked more than one candidate at the same ranking level.
