An alternative vote is a voting system in which candidates are chosen in order of preference by the individual voter - at various stages in the vote, the least popular canddiate is excluded from the vote and the votes are transferred to the other voters' preferences.

Alternative vote, also known as instant-runoff voting, is a voting system where voters rank candidates in order of preference. Candidates with the fewest first-preference votes are eliminated and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the next preferences indicated by their voters. This process continues until a candidate receives the majority of votes and is declared the winner.
