The "'''Ranked Pairs'''" method (sometimes abbreviated as "RP") was created in 1987 by [[Nicolaus Tideman]].<ref name="Tideman2">{{Cite journal |last=Tideman |first=T.

The ranked-pairs method can also be used to create a sorted list of winners. Ranked Pairs passes the [[Smith criterion]] and the [[Condorcet winner criterion]] (thus making it a "[[Condorcet method]]"). The ranked-pairs method has many variations such as the "[[Maximize Affirmed Majorities]]" (or "MAM") and "[[Maximum Majority Voting]]" (or "MMV") voting methods.
