At the upcoming [RIPE NCC General Meeting](https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2023), we’ll have two member votes that use the instant run-off voting method - one on the charging scheme models and one for the Executive Board election. The screenshot here is a sample set of votes for a fictional election.
