The phrase
"alternative vote" refers to a voting system where voters rank the candidates in order of their preference. If no candidate gets a clear majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed based on the voters' next preferences. This process continues until a candidate receives a majority of votes and is declared the winner.
