Toronto Municipal Election 2018
Toronto's municipal election is almost here. RaBIT is working to ensure that the mayor and city council we elect on October 22nd understand the benefits of ranked ballots and are committed to using them for the 2022 election.
One of the ways we are doing this is by are asking all candidates for mayor and for city council to take the following Candidate Pledge:
As a candidate in the 2018 Toronto election, I pledge that, if elected, I will support, advance, and vote in favour of those actions required for ranked ballots to be used in the 2022 Toronto elections.
The following candidates have taken the Candidate Pledge. Below you will also find links to each race for more detail. If you'd like more information about our Candidate Pledge campaign, please click here.

Petition
On September 16, 2016, all 444 of Ontario’s municipalities gained the ability to adopt a ranked ballot voting system for their municipal elections.
Ranked ballots offer the residents of Toronto the opportunity to make a small, simple change to our electoral system that will make our politics more fair, diverse, inclusive, and friendly.
As a Torontonian, I’m calling on Toronto City Council to adopt ranked ballots for Toronto’s municipal elections as soon as possible.
