Speeding Up RCV Results Production

Jun 6 2024 | By: Ranked Choice Voting Resource Center

Share

Most state- and federal-level elections today rely on city or county administrators to count results locally and report summary results – unofficial and official vote totals for each candidate in a contest – to the state. While this practice is fine for plurality elections, those summary results are not sufficient for RCV, as the round-by-round count in RCV is only possible with the full ranking data available in files known as cast vote records (CVRs). This brief whitepaper discusses the tools available to election administrators to speed up the production of centralizing CVRs and producing RCV results on election night.
