Line 12:
At present, what groups or nations call this voting method "Instant Runoff"? In the US, advocates of this method have seized the generic term '''''Ranked Choice Voting''''' (RCV) as their preferred term. Should IRV still be considered the preferred term? - [[User:Frankie1969|Frankie1969]] ([[User talk:Frankie1969|talk]]) 22:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
: IRV is still the term which everybody uses. RCV is used by one organization in one country. Also, "Rank Choice" refers to the ballot not the system. Nobody in the voting theory community would use RCV in an academic paper. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 02:19, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
:: My point is that AFAICT, none of the English-speaking nations that actually use IRV call it IRV. (update) Australia, NZ, Papua call it Preferential Voting. US & Canada call it RCV. UK calls it Alternative Vote. Ireland & India call it STV
