== Notes ==
[[Benham's method]] is similar, but always terminates in the same round as Woodall's or earlier. This is because the two methods are identical to [[IRV]] until their algorithms' completion, but Benham's method can potentially terminate in a round where there are still multiple members of the Smith set remaining i.e. a member of the Smith set whose only pairwise loss or tie is to one of the other candidates in the Smith set would become a [[CW]] if that other candidate is eliminated, and be the Benham winner.
