'''Coombs' method''' (or the '''Coombs rule''')<ref>Grofman, Bernard, and Scott L. Feld (2004) [httphttps://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]] created by [[Clyde Coombs]] used for 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.
