IRV Victory In Student Elections

At other colleges across the country, IRV is alive and well. Dartmouth University’s Student Assembly recently saw a write-in candidate win in a landslide victory with a margin of 356 votes after instant runoff voting was completed. Despite a bit of controversy surrounding the winner, junior Tim Andreadis, who had run a “sensationalist campaign” in the minds of some Dartmouth students, he still received 1,025 of 2,435 votes cast in the first round as a write-in.
