The name stands for "score then automatic runoff", referring to the fact that this system is a combination of [[score voting]] to pick two frontrunners with the highest total scores, followed by a "virtual runoff" in which the frontrunner who is preferred on more ballots wins. It is a type of [[cardinal voting]] electoral system.
 
Score runoff voting (SRV) is a single-winner voting system. Voters cast ballots as in score voting, rating each candidate on a numerical scale. The two candidates with the highest total or average are selected, and the pairwise winner between those two is the overall winner.
