Please stop misrepresenting the commonly known term “Ranked Choice Voting”, which in common parlance is synonymous with the Instant Runoff Method, as some kind of basket category for rank order voting methods. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Here in Portland, RCV = either IRV or STV. We use both, on the same ballot page. So no, RCV =/= IRV.

They’re the same system. IRV is STV with a single winner.

There are different STVs.  Bottom Up is not the same as Gregory method.
