On the streamed meeting yesterday, I heard somebody express confusion about multiple-candidate voting methods (eg: Single Transferable Vote aka instant-runoff voting aka ranked-choice voting).

I just wanted to share an old (but good) video on the specifics & benefits of such a system (4mins): https://youtu.be/3Y3jE3B8HsE?t=1m14s

Shared this in the Zoom chat during the meeting too – best (interactive!) example I’ve ever seen of different voting systems: https://ncase.me/ballot/
