'''Coombs' method''' or the '''Coombs rule'''<ref name=Grofman>Grofman, Bernard, and Scott L. Feld (2004) [https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.electstud.2003.08.001 "If you like the alternative vote (a.k.a. the instant runoff), then you ought to know about the Coombs rule,"] ''Electoral Studies'' '''23''':641-59.</ref> is a [[ranked voting systems|ranked voting system]] which uses a ballot counting method for [[ranked voting]] created by [[Clyde Coombs]]. The Coombs' method is the application of Coombs rule to [[Single-member district|single-winner election]]s, similarly to [[instant-runoff voting]], it uses candidate elimination and redistribution of votes cast for that candidate until one candidate has a majority of votes.
Coombs' method can be thought of as a "reversed" [[instant-runoff voting]], where individual rounds eliminate the candidate who is rated last by the most voters (instead of first by the fewest voters).
