Congratulations to RaBIT! A Big Step Forward

Congratulations to the Ranked Ballot Initiative of Toronto (RaBIT):

We did it!!! Just moments ago, City Council voted to request permission from the province to use ranked ballots for our municipal elections!

RaBIT button!

The vote was 26 to 15. It’s an important step forward in the timeline for this reform to occur by the 2018 election. There are still hurdles remaining in this lengthy process — but it’s happening, slowly but surely.

Congratulations to the team of volunteers on their accomplishment! Thanks also to Councillor Paul Ainslie for his leadership on this initiative.

On to the next phase... getting Queen’s Park to approve. If you’d like to support this reform, check out RaBIT here.
