8. Instant Run-Off Elections
Instant run-off elections can be implemented by adding the following language to article X of the bylaws: "A majority of votes is necessary to win. Instant run-off voting will be used if no majority is obtained. Instant run-off voting is defined as follows: voters rank candidates in order of choice: first, second, third and so on. If anyone receives a majority of the first choice votes, that candidate is elected. If not, the last place candidate is defeated, and all ballots are counted again, but this time each ballot cast for the defeated candidate counts for the next choice candidate listed on the ballot. The process of eliminating the last place candidate and recounting ballots continues until one (1) candidate receives a majority of the vote." (Example from Palms NC bylaws)
