Ranked ballots are a simple change to how we vote that can have a big impact: having more choices at the ballot box means more voters' voices get represented at City Council, our elections are more fair, the campaigns are more friendly, and the range of candidates who run (and win!) are more diverse.

Did you know that ranked ballot elections are not permitted in Ontario right now? In 2020, the Ontario government took away municipalities' choice to decide for themselves if they wanted to use ranked ballots in their elections, after London, Ontario had already completed their first one.
We want the provincial government to bring back a municipality's right to choose.
