Line 201:
== Variants: ways of dealing with equal rankings (see STV page) ==
 
For discussion, I offer this alternative. The followinggiven example (amending the example given) clearly shows how my improvement of IRV deals with equal rankings using [[Random Voter Hierarchy]] (RVH) which is described on the IRV page as "Randomly determine a strict ordering of the candidates and when selecting a candidate to eliminate, pick one based on this strict ordering". I would also apply this ordering in dealing with equal rankings and cyclical ties.
 
3045 A=C>B
The result changes as C reaches the border of a majority, going from a three way cyclical tie to a win by C.
 
 
 
15 A>C>B
 
30 A=C>B
 
35 B>A>C
Line 215 ⟶ 209:
20 C>B>A
 
With C claiminghaving the better rank in RVH, C wins.
 
With A claiminghaving the better rank, it is a three way cyclical tie which will also need a RVH to decide who wins.
 
With C claiming the better rank in RVH, C wins.
With A claiming the better rank, it is a three way cyclical tie which will also need a RVH to decide who wins.
 
 
 
In the other example given on “Ways to deal with equal ranking”
 
 
34 A=B=C
Line 230 ⟶ 219:
 
33 E
 
 
 
The winner is whichever of A, B or C claims the best ranking in the RVH.
