Each voter ranks the candidates 1-N
#1 votes are tabulated;
If one candidate has a majority, that candidate wins. If not,
The candidate with fewest #1 votes is dropped from the list and his/her next (#2) votes are allocated to the remaining candidates;
The process continues until one candidate has a simple majority of the votes.
That candidate is the winner.

Just to avoid creating one more procedural document, I suggest you to start from the rules that are already in our Rules of Procedure,

and to change them if necessary. Currently, the rules are simple majority (first past the post) provided that the winner has at least five votes,

and that at least ten votes are cast (including abstentions). There are also rules to cover ties and lacks of quorums.
