Ranked Choice Voting | Presentation Assistants

Why Simple Voting Falls Short

Traditional voting often limits participants to a single choice. This can produce skewed results, where a polarizing option wins simply because it has a small but passionate following. Many participants feel frustrated when their second or third preferences are ignored entirely.

Introducing Ranked Choice Voting

Ranked Choice Voting allows participants to rank multiple options in order of preference. Instead of selecting just one choice, each participant’s input contributes more comprehensively to the final result. The Borda Count method is used to calculate results, ensuring that broadly supported options rise to the top rather than just the most popular first-choice.

Fair and Balanced Outcomes

With Borda Count, every ranking matters. Even if an option isn’t anyone’s top pick, consistent moderate support can still make it a winner. This approach reduces bias, prevents ties, and captures the collective preference of the group more accurately.

Democratic Participation

Ranked voting gives your audience a voice beyond a single vote. Participants feel their opinions are fully represented, and presenters get a clearer picture of group sentiment. Whether choosing the next topic, prioritizing discussion points, or making collaborative decisions, RCV makes the process more democratic and inclusive.

Enhance Engagement

Displaying real-time ranked results keeps audiences engaged. Attendees see how collective preferences shape outcomes and can follow how different options fare. This adds energy, interactivity, and transparency to your sessions, encouraging discussion and participation.
