'''Coombs' method''' is a [[ranked voting systems|ranked voting system]]. Like [[Instant-runoff voting|instant-runoff (IRV-RCV)]], Coombs' method is a [[Sequential elimination method|sequential-loser method]], where the last-place finisher according to one method is eliminated in each round. However, unlike in instant-runoff, each round has electors voting against their least-favorite candidate; the candidate ranked last by the most voters is eliminated.<ref name="Grofman">Grofman, Bernard, and Scott L.
