Cute demo of instant runoff voting
Elect a Muppet CEO is a cute little demo of how instant runoff voting works.
I think many of my regular readers (both of them, probably) are familiar with it already through the Hugo Award voting process, but this may be a nice way to demonstrate it to folks who don’t have similar experience.
Cambridge uses single transferable vote (similar to IRV, but designed for multi-seat elections like City Council and School Committee), which makes for interesting shifts as the second, third, etc votes are transferred.
