Under the ranked-choice system, voters rank candidates in order of preference.
If no one has more than 50 percent of the vote after the first count, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated.
Voters who chose the eliminated candidate would have their ballots added to the totals of their second-ranked candidates, and the ballots would be retabulated.
The process continues until one candidate has a clear majority and is declared the winner.
