On this page, you will find a regularly updated list of all the candidates who have registered to run for Toronto City Council in this ward in the 2018 election. We have asked all of them 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.

Below, you'll see their responses. For incumbent councillors, we've also included a summary of their voting history on ranked ballots. For more detail on our Candidate Pledge campaign, please click here.

"I support Ranked Ballot because it ensures no candidate wins a seat without garnering more than 50 per cent of the vote. It is an effective way of preventing undeserving candidate from taking a clean sweep of the votes based on overall majority. If there is a ranked ballot in place then candidates will work harder for the people and will try to reach out to all voters in their wards rather than appeasing a certain group of people to win a majority."
