If no candidate beats all others, the poll falls back to Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) — a method that eliminates the lowest-ranked candidate each round and redistributes their votes to voters' next preferences — to break the tie. Voters rank all choices in order of preference. This page explains how to access and interpret the results of a Condorcet IRV vote. {% hint style="info" %} Final results are only available for polls that have **ended**. While a poll is still active, you can open the results panel but will see a message indicating that final results will be available once voting has ended. {% endhint %} *** ## Accessing Results To view the results of a Condorcet IRV vote: 1. Navigate to **Collaboration > Voting** in the PCC. 2. Locate the poll in the polls table. 3. Click the **poll name**, or click the overflow menu and select **View Results**. The results panel opens on the right side of the screen. *** ## Results Panel Overview The results panel is divided into several sections, from top to bottom: 1. **Poll Details** — identifying information about the poll 2. **Participation Metrics** — response and participation statistics 3. **Votes Cast and Abstained** — vote count summary cards 4. **Question Results** — the vote outcome and detailed breakdowns for each question An **Export** menu in the top-right corner of the panel lets you download the results as **CSV** or **PNG**. *** ## Poll Details At the top of the results panel, you will see: * **Voting Type** — displays "Condorcet IRV" * **Committee** — the committee whose members were invited to vote * **Poll Name** — the title of the poll * **Description** — the poll description, truncated to 300 characters with a "show more" option *** ## Participation Metrics Four metric cards are displayed below the poll details: | Metric | Description | | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Total Responses** | The number of members who submitted a response (vote or abstention) | | **Invited** | The total number of voting invitations sent | | **Participation** | The percentage of invited members who responded (Total Responses / Invited) | | **Status** | Whether the poll is **Active** or **Ended**, along with the end date and time in Pacific Time | *** ## Votes Cast and Abstained Below the participation metrics, two summary cards display the vote breakdown: * **Votes Cast** — the number of members who submitted an actual vote (excluding abstentions). When pseudo-anonymity is disabled, a **View voters** link appears in the card, allowing you to see the full list of voters. * **Abstained** — the number of members who chose to abstain. This card only appears if the **Allow Abstain Option** was enabled when the poll was created. A **View voters** link is also available when pseudo-anonymity is disabled. *** ## Question Results Each question in the poll displays a detailed breakdown of how the winner was determined. ### Multiple Questions If the poll contains more than one question, results are organized into tabs labeled **Question 1**, **Question 2**, and so on. Click a tab to view the results for that question. ### Condorcet Round If a Condorcet winner could not be determined, a **Condorcet Round** section appears first, indicating that no candidate beat every other candidate head-to-head and that the poll proceeded to IRV to break the tie. If a Condorcet winner **was** found, this section is skipped and the outcome is shown directly under **Condorcet IRV - Final Voting Outcome**. ### Final Voting Outcome This section announces the result of the vote. The outcome depends on whether a Condorcet winner was found: | Outcome | What You See | | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Vote in progress** | A blue information box: "The vote is currently in progress. Final results will be available once voting has ended." | | **Condorcet winner found** | A green box with a trophy icon: "**{Candidate}** is the winner, having defeated all other candidates in head-to-head matchups. Please see the detailed results below." | | **No Condorcet winner (IRV used)** | A gray box: "Since a winner could not be determined under the Condorcet process, the vote proceeded to the IRV elimination process. Please see the detailed results below." Below this, an **Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) - Final Voting Outcome** subsection shows the IRV result — a single winner ("declared the winner after the IRV elimination process"), a tie ("There is a tie between {candidates}. No single winner can be determined."), or no winner. | ### Standings A ranked list of all candidates showing their final placement — **Winner**, **Tied**, **Eliminated in round {N}**, or **Survivor** — and, where applicable, how many head-to-head matchups each candidate won out of the total possible. ### Pairwise Comparison A table comparing every candidate against every other candidate. Each cell shows two numbers: the first is the number of voters who ranked the row candidate above the column candidate, and the second is the number who ranked the column candidate above the row candidate. ### Ballot Ranking Distribution A table showing the number of ballots that used each unique ranking order across all candidates. When pseudo-anonymity is disabled, click a ballot count to view the voters who submitted that ranking pattern. ### Candidate Rank Summary A table showing how many votes each candidate received at each rank position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on). When pseudo-anonymity is disabled, click a non-zero cell to view the voters who ranked that candidate at that position. *** ## Poll Comments If the poll creator added comment questions when [creating the vote](/lfx/project-control-center/v2-latest-version/collaborations/voting-feature/creating-a-vote.md#poll-comments), a **Comments** tab appears next to the **Voting** tab in the results panel. * If the poll has more than one comment question, each one appears as a numbered tab (**Question 1**, **Question 2**, and so on). * Each comment question shows the number of responses and, when pseudo-anonymity is disabled, the individual responses with the voter's name, response text, and the time it was submitted. * When pseudo-anonymity is disabled, you can click the response count to open a **Comment Respondents** list, which shows who has responded and lets you view an individual voter's full set of comments or email them. * If a comment question has no responses yet, it shows a message indicating comments will appear once voters submit feedback. {% hint style="info" %} The **Comments** tab only appears if the poll has at least one comment question. If none were added, no Comments tab is shown. {% endhint %} *** ## Viewing Voter Details When pseudo-anonymity is **disabled**, you can view individual voters from several places in the results panel: the **View voters** links on the Votes Cast and Abstained cards, and the clickable counts in the Ballot Ranking Distribution and Candidate Rank Summary tables. {% hint style="warning" %} When pseudo-anonymity is **enabled**, voter identity information is not available in the PCC interface. Vote counts are still displayed, but you cannot view individual voter details. {% endhint %} *** ## Exporting Results To export the poll results: 1. Click the **Export** menu in the top-right corner of the results panel. 2. Select **Export as CSV** to download a spreadsheet of the results, or **Export as PNG** to download an image of the results panel. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/project-control-center/v2-latest-version/collaborations/voting-feature/viewing-results-condorcet-irv.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
