VoteFair Ranking is a group of vote-counting methods that increase voter representation for single-winner elections, multiple-seat elections, and legislative voting.
 
VoteFair Ranking includes the following components:
 
*'''VoteFair popularity ranking''' is the single-winner election method known as the [[Kemeny-Young Maximum Likelihood Method|Condorcet-Kemeny method]]. This method identifies the most popular candidate, second-most popular candidate, and so on down to the least-popular candidate. Specifically it rearranges [[Pairwise counting|pairwise counts]] in a table until the biggest pairwise counts are in the upper-left triangular area of the table and the smallest pairwise counts are in the lower-right triangular area (assuming the diagonal line of empty cells starts in the upper-right corner). This counting method is also used within the other ranking methods that follow. (As a clarification, the method created by John Kemeny minimizes opposition whereas VoteFair popularity ranking maximizes support, yet both methods yield the same result.)
* [[VoteFair representation ranking|'''VoteFair representation ranking''']] is a [[house monotonicity criterion|house monotone]] proportional-representation (PR) vote-counting method that elects a second-seat winner who represents the voters who are not well-represented by the first-seat winner. This method can be repeated, such as to select the winners of the second and fourth seats in a five-seat district.
* [[VoteFair party ranking|'''VoteFair party ranking''']] is a vote-counting method that identifies the popularity of political parties for the purpose of identifying how many candidates each political party is allowed to offer in a non-primary election. This limit is useful in elections that otherwise would attract too many candidates from unpopular parties. It allows, and encourages, two or three candidates from the two most popular parties.
