The New York City 2025 Mayor Democratic Primary results are in! How does the #RankedChoiceVoting count work with "batch elimination"?
Batch elimination is just a fancy way of saying this:
In traditional instant runoff counting, you go round by round, eliminating the candidate who has the fewest top choice votes, one at a time, until one candidate has a majority — and then sometimes you continue reducing to two candidates to see the final delta.
With batch elimination, in any round, you eliminate all the candidates that have no chance of beating the candidate ahead of them, even with the votes of all the candidates behind them.
The results will be the same either way, but batch elimination results are easier to digest — fewer rounds, more focus on the most relevant candidates.

“With the opening of the primaries in Alaska, and then ranked choice voting, we have seen candidates come forward that, perhaps, would have been more hesitant to do so because they hadn’t been 'a party regular’. Again, this is on both sides of the aisle. I think you saw campaigns that were a little more civil, because, not only am I asking you to support me, I might want the #2 vote getter, I might want them to like me, too, so that I can be their #2 selection. It changes the tenor of the race.…And we’ve seen this play out in Alaska. RIght now we have coalitions in our state legislature.…that means we get strong Democrats sitting with strong Republicans trying to work through hard issues for the benefit of all Alaskans. I think it’s better governance.”
