Instant Run Off is described comprehensively on Wikipedia, which is the
first hit google "Instant Run Off".  It is also described numerous
Australian government web sites as it is the voting system we use.  I
doubt anybody here could do a better job of describing it than those
sites.

If you want something even more details, look up MemberDb's source
