LPO        Raechelle Devereaux has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"I am proud to support efforts by municipalities here in Ontario to have the option of using ranked ballots for their municipal elections. We know ranked ballots help make our politics more fair, diverse, and inclusive."

NDP       Sarah Lowe has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"The province needs to work with municipalities, not against them. I fully support a brand new, respectful relationship between the levels of government. If municipalities would like to transition to a ranked ballot voting system, it should be up to them. I would never stand in the way of local democracy and I firmly believe it is time for electoral reform."

"Municipalities need a partner at Queen’s Park who respects democracy and the decisions of local councils, mayors and residents.

NDP       Karen Meisser has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"An Ontario NDP government will act as a true partner to municipalities. We believe cities and towns are best positioned to understand their communities’ distinct needs. We will Pass Bill 121, the Municipal Representation Protection Act, which requires the government to give public notice, conduct consultations, and get the approval of municipalities before cutting the size of councils or changing, amalgamating, or dissolving wards. We’ll look for new ways to strengthen municipal decision-making, including city charters, and recognize and support municipal governments’ legitimate powers."

GPO       Laura Bisutti has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"Ranked-choice voting allows the will of the majority to emerge."

LPO        Ashley Fox has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"When elections become divisive, people get frustrated and can give up on voting. Ranked ballots will reward candidates and parties that find common ground and that speak to voters’ hopes, not their fears. Ontario Liberals will broaden Elections Ontario’s mandate to help municipalities implement ranked ballots if they choose."

NDP       Jo-Dee Burbach has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"I strongly believe that municipalities should be free to choose ranked ballot voting, and that any reform to the antiquated first-past-the-post system is a welcome and needed change. As a City Councillor, I totally opposed the overreach of the Ford government during their last term, and I'm working hard to make sure that we don't give them another 4 years of draconian suppression of progress at the municipal level."

PCO       Matthew Rae has not yet taken the Candidate Pledge

Waterloo

GPO       Shefaza Esmail has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"It is important that each level of government have the autonomy to make decisions to the benefit of their constituents. At the municipal level, the choice of using ranked ballots was revoked by a provincial government. However, with conversation in Ontario and Canada centering around electoral reform and with municipalities having the choice to implement ranked ballots, learnings from the municipal level could pave the way toward electoral reform at other levels of government."

LPO        Jennifer Tuck has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"Ontario Liberals have committed in our platform to allow municipalities to choose ranked ballots for their elections if they so choose. We’ll also broaden Elections Ontario’s mandate to help municipalities implement ranked ballots. Furthermore, we’ll respect and empower the autonomy of municipalities – refusing to use the notwithstanding clause to trample over local decision making."
