Ward 20: Scaborough Southwest

Corey David has taken the Ranked Ballot Candidate Pledge

"First past the post has led to those receving less than 50% of the vote ending up with 100% of the power, there is more that can be done to expand our democracy but this is a good first step."

Philip Mills has taken the Ranked Ballot Candidate Pledge

"I'd like to support the double-wammy electoral reform of both ranked ballots as well as term limits. Politicians can receive 100% of their electoral power without a majority of the constituency agreeing with their platform or policies. Ranked ballots would get us closer to accurate representation."

Kevin Rupasinghe has taken the Ranked Ballot Candidate Pledge

"I have been and will continue to be a champion for ranked ballots at the municipal level. Having more diverse candidates running, less divisive campaigning, and stronger mandates when elected (with 50%+ of the vote) are all major benefits. I was a co-chair of RaBIT and am a board member of Unlock Democracy Canada. I published an op-ed in the Toronto Star sharing my views: https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2020/09/28/city-council-should-reaffirm-its-commitment-to-ranked-ballots-at-wednesday-vote.html"
