NDP Benjamin Truong has taken the Candidate Pledge:
"There's a lot of benefit to be had by a ranked ballot system for our municipalities; it increases the sense of democratic freedom for residents who may prefer to vote for a smaller candidate, and would remove their fears of "wasted" votes. If I'm elected, you can count on me to pledge for a change in the system."

GPO Dean Boulding has taken the Candidate Pledge:
"The Green Party has long been a voice in the wilderness in support of ranked ballots. I would love to be part of a movement to advance democracy in Ontario. Selfishly it also helps decrease the power of the old tired parties."
LPO Mitzie Hunter has taken the Candidate Pledge:
"I’m a strong advocate of a ranked ballot system and I'm on record stating that ranked ballots make our democracy better. That's why I introduced the Toronto Ranked Ballots Election Act in March of 2014, and it's also why I reintroduced a PMB in 2020 to restore ranked ballots as an option for municipalities, when the Doug Ford Conservatives moved to eliminate the system. I support restoring ranked ballots because they will make city elections more inclusive and their tone much more collaborative. London has shown how ranked ballots actually encourage candidates from more diverse backgrounds to run for council."
NDP Veronica Javier has taken the Candidate Pledge:
"I have always found the idea that our current method of conducting elections being immutable and unchanging to be a strange one. Canadian democracy is ever changing and evolving alongside our society and our peoples. We must constantly strive to apply well-reasoned and thought-out reforms to ensure the will of the people is best reflected in our governing structures. The journey from an experiment with democracy marched on to include a wider and wider net of enfranchisement and these changes had permanent and positive effects on our standards of governance. In the spirit of deepening and enriching our democracy, I believe that we must continue to strive to improve these systems by implementing a system of ranked ballots in Ontario’s municipal elections. This is why I fully support the Ranked Ballot Initiative."

"Doug Ford should never have interfered with local democracy. If elected I pledge to work to give Ontario municipalities the option of ranked ballots and undo his other anti-democratic actions such as cutting the number of municipal councilors in Toronto."
LPO Manal Abdullahi has taken the Candidate Pledge:
"I believe in ranked ballots because it is a more accurate and fair method of capturing voters' intentions. Democracies must strive to fully reflect the true interests & diversity of constituents and I believe ranked ballots are a means of getting to this goal. I believe Scarborough & Toronto would be better represented with a municipal ranked ballot approach."
