Ranked-choice voting is the most rational electoral system in the world. It means that, at least, a significant percentage of the electorate don't get stuck with the candidate they loathe most....

I don't know if it's still true, but Australia used to use a preferential voting system where one of the candidates was "none of the above." If it won, which I'm not sure it ever did, there would be a new election, and none of the candidates who got none-of-the-aboved would be permitted to stand in the new one.

(Amusingly, one Geoff Richardson changed his name to Of The Above None, so that it would appear on the ballot as "NONE, Of The Above").
