The six more common methods rate as follows, in my opinion, in their relative ability to get a single winner favored by a majority. rankings= candidates are ranked 1, 2, 3, etc. 1. Plurality (no rankings) 2. Top 2 go to runoff (no rankings) 3. Instant run off (rankings) 4. Condorcet (rankings) 5. Limited approval voting (rankings) 6. Plain Approval voting (no rankings- all candidates are in effect ranked 1) Other methods may be added. Is there a 7th method which puts Condorcet in the middle ???
