What Is Ranked Choice Voting?
Ranked choice voting is an innovative method where respondents rank options in order of preference rather than selecting just one. For example, if you’re choosing between steak, seafood, or tofu, voters can indicate their first, second, and third choices. This system not only highlights the top pick but also uncovers valuable insights into the alternatives.
This approach isn’t only used in elections—it’s ideal for:
- Deciding on business features
- Planning product launches
- Selecting menu items for restaurants
By using ranked choice voting, you capture nuanced opinions that help you make decisions that truly resonate with your audience.
