IRV poll I created for the 2016 Democratic Presidential Nomination

[stevenleser]

I will create a new one every few months or so. I thought it might be interesting to see what an Instant Runoff Voting poll would yield as far as preferred Presidential Candidate. If you are interesting in participating, below is the link and the candidates for this poll.

1. Interesting results so far. Hillary gets more 1st place votes in first round, Warren wins

in last round by getting votes from someone who voted Howard Dean and someone else who voted for Martin O'Malley

4. Even though my preferred candidate isn't winning, I love seeing these IRV polls in action

Wish we had straight popular vote with IRV to choose all elections here.

12. Folks interested in the concept of IRV should take a look at the 2010 mayor of Oakland race

which was determined by IVR. The winner had less first place votes than the second place person at the first tally, but neither broke 50%. After a few rounds of eliminating the lowest "vote-getter", the person who had originally been second, received over 50% of the votes.
