[[Instant-Runoff Voting]] (IRV), which also wrongfully goes by the ambiguous umbrella-term "Ranked Choice Voting" (RCV), is the system currently at the forefront of the voting system reform movement. Many people first get excited about voting reform through hearing about IRV, as I did, driven towards it due to several promises being made as to how it will address problems seen in politics and elections, problems which seem to plague all democracies all over the world today.
 
But before we get too excited, it is important to carefully understand what problems IRV is specifically designed to address, how it achieves that goal, and how it handles other problems.
 
This article is intended as a guide to those seeking to improve elections and politics by changing the voting system, but who don't know how they feel about the alternatives yet. It assumes the reader already knows how the voting system's algorithm works. If you are not familiar enough, make sure to read the article on [[Instant-Runoff Voting]] first!
