Does IRV affect voter turnout?

0

Yes. Turnout generally increases, particularly compared to two-election runoffs. IRV gives every voter incentive to participate because your vote still counts even if your first choice candidate is defeated. Also, since IRV only requires one election, the decisive election takes place when turnout is highest, typically November.
