In both IRV and Borda Count a voter ranks the candidates (let’s say 5). In IRV, votes are counted using everyone’s first choice, and if no candidate has received a majority of votes, the candidate with the least first choice votes is eliminated, and then votes are recounted using those voters’ first non-eliminated choice. This process repeats until there’s a winner.

Borda Count assigns points instead. The first candidate receives 5 points, the second 4, third 3, fourth 2, and the fifth 1. The winner is whoever has the most points.

The short version with IRV is that it does not look at an entire ballot, only the candidate whose name is at the top. This gives it a number of bizarre and really properties that I can’t articulate simply. A good example is if every voter picked the same candidate second, but none of them picked that candidate first, that candidate would always be eliminated in the second round despite being the most representative candidate because IRV doesn’t look ahead. It’s very sensitive to ordering in this way and outcomes can change by doing things like rearranging the order of candidates who can never win on enough ballots which is pretty undesirable. Borda count has none of these problems because it’s always looking at the entire ballot, and is simpler to tabulate for the same reason.
