ranked.vote

: detailed reports on ranked-choice elections.

Ranked-choice elections produce more data on voter preferences than pick-one elections. ranked.vote runs analysis on the ballot-level data and publishes reports on each election.

Some elections are highlighted when they exhibit interesting characteristics: the RCV winner differs from the Condorcet winner (the candidate who would beat all others in head-to-head matchups), there is a Condorcet cycle (no single candidate beats all others), or exhausted ballots outnumbering the winner's votes.

ranked.vote was created by Paul Butler and Felix Sargent. It is non-partisan and has received no outside funding.

If you enjoy alternate voting systems, you may also enjoy approval.vote, which is a similar project for approval voting elections.
