Line 1:
'''Bottom-Two-Runoff IRV''' ('''BTR-IRV''') is a [[voting system]] that selects a single winner using votes that express ranked preferences
The process
▲The process is as follows: take the two options with the fewest first preference votes. The pairwise loser out of those two options is eliminated, and the next preferences from those ballots are redistributed. This process repeats until there is only one option remaining, and that remaining option is the winner.
This system is a form of [[Single transferable vote|single transferable vote (STV)]], and may be referred to by the more general name '''BTR-STV''', thought the multi-winner variant was not originally recommended by LeGrand.<ref name=":0" />
▲It was originally proposed by [[User:Legrand|Rob LeGrand]].<ref>[https://election-methods.electorama.narkive.com/LKfc52OI/an-example-of-btr-stv#post4 election-methods mailing list: An example of BTR-STV]</ref><ref>[https://www.mail-archive.com/election-methods@electorama.com/msg01311.html <nowiki>[EM] DH3 - error by me - should prefer BTR-IRV to Schulze beatpaths?</nowiki>]</ref>
