'''Schwartz Woodall''' is a ranked voting method, a variation of [[Woodall's method]].
 
== Definition ==
{{definition|Do [[Instant-runoff voting|IRV]] until there remains un-eliminated only one member of the initial
[[Schwartz set]]. Elect hir.}}
There are two equivalent definitions of the Schwartz set:
X beats Y if more ballots rank X over Y than rank Y over X.
 
=== Beatpath definition ===
{{definition|There is a beatpath from X to Y if either X beats Y, or X beats something that has a beatpath to Y.
X has a beatpath to Y if there is a beatpath from X to Y.
X is in the Schwartz set if there is no Y such that there is a
beatpath from Y to X, but not from X to Y.}}
 
=== Unbeaten set definition ===
{{definition|
# An unbeaten set is a set of candidates none of whom are beaten by anyone outside that set.
# An innermost unbeaten set is an unbeaten set that doesn't contain a smaller unbeaten set.
# The Schwartz set is the set of candidates who are in innermost unbeaten sets.}}
