The "'''Ranked Pairs'''" method (sometimes abbreviated as "RP")
== Procedure ==
The
# Tally the vote count comparing each pair of candidates, and determine the winner of each pair (provided there is not a tie)
# Sort (rank) each pair, by the largest margin of victory first to smallest last.
Line 12:
See the [[Ranked pairs#Notes|Notes]] section for information on finding the Ranked Pairs winner without constructing a graph.
* remove that winner from the list of candidates,
* ...and repeat (to find the next runner up, and so forth)
A simpler way to create the sorted list is simply to run Ranked Pairs once, and then use the resulting [[Condorcet ranking]] (when ignoring the defeats that were ignored by the ranked-pairs procedure) as the ranked-pairs ranking.
