Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the first preference, candidate A has the most votes (40), but it's not a majority. So, A and C (with 18 first choice votes) will move to the runoff.
In the runoff, candidate C will win because 32 voters have selected him/her as their second choice. Candidate A only gets 10 second choice votes, which is not enough to win. Therefore, there is a winner using the plurality-runoff method, and the winner is C.
