With Instant Runoff Voting we proceed in multiple rounds. In each round we tally the votes, see if anyone logo has the majority. If none do, then we drop the lowest scoring logo and reallocate the votes for those who picked the lowest scoring logo to their next ordered preference. Ties are broken by "looking forward" to next level preferences. Round 1 ------------ CR: 6 votes none: 6 votes SM: 1 vote Logo-28: 1 vote There is a tie for last place (SM and Logo-28) so we look forward to 2nd place preferences as a tiebreaker and see that SM has 4 votes and Logo-28 has zero. So we drop Logo-28 and move to Kay's 2nd preference (Logo-31) for Round 2. Round 2 ------------ CR: 6 votes none: 6 votes SM: 1 vote Logo-31: 1 vote Again, no logo has a majority, so we drop the lowest scoring logo. Again, a tie, so we look forward at next preferences where SM has 4 votes and Logo-31 has zero. So we drop Logo-31 and move to Kay's next preference (KGb) for Round 3. Round 3 ------------ CR: 6 votes none: 6 votes SM: 1 vote KGb: 1 vote Again, no logo has a majority, so we drop the lowest scoring logo. Again, a tie, so we look forward at next preference where SM has 4 votes and KGb has 1. So we drop KGb and move to Kay's next preference (CR) for Round 4. Round 4 ------------ CR: 7 votes none: 6 votes SM: 1 vote Again, no logo has a majority, so we drop the lowest scoring logo, SM, and reallocate Andrew's vote to his next choice, CR for round 5. Round 5 ------------ CR: 8 votes none: 6 votes CR now has the majority and wins. Note this is intuitively obvious as well, since 75% of the ballots rated CR higher than none.
