Line 1:
'''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''' ([[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 relative Condorcet losers. This addition wouldreduces havethe preventedfailure rate for the failure[[Independence of instant-runoffirrelevant votingalternatives|Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives]] (IIA), towhich electis the mostkind popularof failure that candidateoccurred in the 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 the IRV method, which does not consider all the marks on all the ballots.
 
The RCIPE STV method extends the single-winner RCIPE method to fill multiple equivalent seats.
