Conservative Voices for Ranked Ballots in Toronto Conservative voices for ranked ballots in Toronto In June 2013, Toronto City Council voted 26-15 in favour of asking the province for permission to use ranked ballots. Residents of Toronto are now hoping that all parties at Queen’s Park will work together to pass Bill 166, “!e Toronto Ranked Ballot Elections Act”. Here are some conservative voices in favour of this proposal: “All I’d like to see is far more turnover and candidates who are sent to City Hall by the majority of their residents. Run-off voting is a step in the right direction.” “By changing the voting system, the election would result in a candidate being selected by a greater than Sue-Ann Levy 50% majority of voters and therefore would be the most representative of the will of the people.” Case Ootes “Our whole system is broken. We shouldn’t be the victims of a system that makes winners out of losers. There is a better way “The ranked ballot would be a vast to do this. It’s called improvement over the status quo” Instant Runoff” Jerry Agar Andrew Coyne Friendly Elections. Fair Results. Request to Examine Alternate Methods of Electing the Mayor of Toronto Moved by Councillor Case Ootes, seconded by Councillor Mike Feldman. Submitted to City Council on August 25 and 26, 2010 “The City of Toronto is the largest city in Can- ada and the Mayor of Toronto receives the - da. As Toronto is such a heavily populated metropolis, the race for Mayor can be high- ly contested with many candidates, high To ensure that the individual who is elected is representative of the majority of voters in the City, the Municipal Elections Act should be altered to state that the race for Mayor should be decided by a form of voting that represents a result of 50% + 1. This will ensure that the Mayor has a mandate and the support of a majority of those who voted. - ronto, the election would result in a candidate being selected by a greater than 50% majority of voters and therefore would be the most representative of the will of the people.” Instant Runoff Voting. A small, simple change to make Toronto’s elections more fair, diverse, inclusive and friendly. 123Toronto.ca Toronto should switch to run-o! voting system 4VF"OO-FWZt.POEBZ.BZUI "MMPX NF UP QSPWJEF TPNF SFDFOU 5XP SFUJSFE DPVODJMMPST SFBMJ[FE UIBU DBOEJEBUF XJUI UIF MFBTU WPUFT JT FYBNQMFTPGUIFMJNJUBUJPOTPGUIFMFTT UIJTXBTBIVHFJTTVFJO BUMFBTUBT FMJNJOBUFE GSPN UIF SBDF BOE UIF UIBOGBJSTZTUFNXFVTFUPWPUFJOPVS GBSBTUIFNBZPSXBTDPODFSOFE#FGPSF WPUFTGPSIJNPSIFSBSFUSBOTGFSSFEUP NBZPSTBOEDPVODJMMPSTPOFLOPXO UIFZ MFę PďDF $BTF 0PUFT BOE .JLF XIPNFWFS B WPUFS QJDLT BT B TFDPOE BT UIF i'JSTU 1BTU UIF 1PTU 7PUJOH 'FMENBOHPUDPVODJMBQQSPWBMUPMPPL DIPJDF ćJT JT SFQFBUFE JG OFDFTTBSZ 4ZTUFNw BUSFGPSNTUPUIF.VOJDJQBM&MFDUJPOT VOUJMBDBOEJEBUFHFUTPGUIFWPUF "DU UIBU XPVME DSFBUF B TZTUFN JO *OUIFFMFDUJPO JUBMMPXFE,SJTUZO XIJDIUIFSBDFGPSNBZPSXBTEFDJEFE 5PSPOUP XPVME CF UIF ĕSTU DJUZ JO 8POH5BN UP FLF PVU B XJO JO 8BSE CZ PGUIFWPUFTDBTU $BOBEBUPTXJUDIUPBSVOPČTZTUFN PWFSDBOEJEBUFTXJUIKVTUPG #VUJUJTBMSFBEZCFJOHVTFEFYUFOTJWFMZ UIFWPUF $JUZTUBČXFSFTVQQPTFEUPSFQPSUCBDL JO UIF 64 JO TVDI DJUJFT BT 4BO JO UIF ĕSTU ZFBS PG UIF OFX UFSN CVU 'SBODJTDP BOE 0BLMBOE BT XFMM BT JO '151 WPUJOH BMTP DSPXOFE +BNFT UIFZTBUPOJU BTDJUZTUBČBSFXPOUUP -POEPO &OHMBOE"MMPG$BOBEBTBOE 1BTUFSOBL BT DPVODJMMPS JO 8BSE EP 0OUBSJPT QPMJUJDBM QBSUJFT VTF SVOPČ PWFSDBOEJEBUFTXJUIBNFSFPG WPUJOHUPQJDLUIFJSMFBEFST UIFWPUF #VU BDUJWJTU %BWF .FTMJO XIP SBO B WFSZ DSFBUJWF BOE TVDDFTTGVM i$JUZ "T.FTMJOUPMENFSFDFOUMZPWFSMVODI *O 8BSE QSPVOJPO TFBU XBSNFS *EPMwDPOUFTUUPHFUZPVOHQFPQMFJOUP B SVOPČ TZTUFN FODPVSBHFT OFX .BSZ'SBHFEBLJTXBTBCMFUPTDPPUVQ QPMJUJDTJOUIFFMFDUJPOLFQUVQ WPJDFT JODSFBTFTQPMJUJDBMUVSOPWFSBOE UIF MFę XIFO DBOEJEBUFT +BOF 1JUĕFME UIFDSVTBEF NBLFTDBNQBJHOTiNPSFQPTJUJWFwBOE BOE +FOOJGFS 8PPE TQMJU UIF DFOUSF MFTTQPMBSJ[JOH SJHIUWPUF "ęFSOFBSMZUISFFZFBSTPGQVTIJOHUIF JTTVF JU ĕOBMMZ DPNFT UP HPWFSONFOU )F BMTP GFFMT B SVOPČ TZTUFN XPVME *O 8BSE HBZ BDUJWJTU .BSUJO NBOBHFNFOUDPNNJUUFFOFYU.POEBZ BUUSBDU NPSF XPNFO DBOEJEBUFT BOE (MBETUPOF XBT GPSDFE UP ESPQ PVU PG #VUBTJTUZQJDBM UIFDJUZSFQPSUQSPWJEFT XPVME BMMPX WPUFST UP iSFBMMZ HFU UIFSBDFBOEUISPXIJTTVQQPSUCFIJOE BMMLJOETPGSFBTPOTXIZJUDBOUCFEPOF CFIJOEwBDBOEJEBUF .BSZ.BSHBSFU .D.BIPO FWFO GPSUIFFMFDUJPO UIPVHIIFXBTUIFGBSCFUUFSDBOEJEBUF 8PNFO NFO MFę SJHIU PS DFOUSJTU UP FOTVSF JODVNCFOU 4BOESB #VTTJO 'PSE XIFO BTLFE BCPVU JU .POEBZ DBOEJEBUFT JUEPFTOUNBUUFS XBTUPTTFEPVUPGPďDF TBJEIFEiOFWFSIFBSEPGJUw NFBOJOH SVOPČWPUJOH "MM*EMJLFUPTFFJTGBSNPSFUVSOPWFS &WFO .BZPS 3PC 'PSE EFTQJUF IJT BOE DBOEJEBUFT XIP BSF TFOU UP $JUZ NBSHJOPGWJDUPSZPWFSIJTOFBSFTU #VU.FTMJOJTOUXPSSJFE)FSFDPHOJ[FT )BMMCZUIFNBKPSJUZPGUIFJSSFTJEFOUT PQQPOFOU(FPSHF4NJUIFSNBOXPO DIBOHFIBQQFOTTMPXMZ)FIPQFTUPHFU UIFFMFDUJPOXJUIMFTTUIBOPG FOPVHIDPVODJMTVQQPSUOFYUNPOUIUP *UNJHIUOPUDVSFBMMUIBUBJMTNVOJDJQBM UIFWPUF)FDBQUVSFETVQQPSU QVSTVFBSBOLFECBMMPUTZTUFNGPSUIF QPMJUJDT MJLF BUUSBDUJOH SFBMMZ TIBSQ NBZPSTSBDFiBTBQJMPUwJOBOEBMM DBOEJEBUFT XIP BSF JO JU GPS UIF SJHIU *NBMMGPSSFGPSNTUPBTZTUFNXIJDI DPVODJMTFBUTCZ SFBTPOT OPUKVTUQPXFSBOEHMPSZ HJWFT BO VOGBJS BEWBOUBHF UP BO JODVNCFOU EJTDPVSBHFT B WBSJFUZ PG 3VOPČWPUJOH PSXIBUJTSFGFSSFEUP #VU SVOPČ GSFTI DIPJDFT BOE OFX WPJDFT GSPN BTiSBOLFEDIPJDFWPUJOHwJOUIF64 WPUJOH TVSF SVOOJOHJGUIFZBSFPGTJNJMBSQPMJUJDBM BTLTWPUFSTUPSBOLDBOEJEBUFTJOPSEFS JT B TUFQ JO TUSJQFT BMMPXT DBOEJEBUFT UP XJO PGQSFGFSFODF UIF SJHIU XJUI MFTT UIBO PG UIF WPUF BOE EJSFDUJPO NBZPST UP CF WPUFE JO XJUI MFTT UIBO /P DBOEJEBUF DBO XJO XJUI MFTT UIBO PG UIF WPUF BOE GPSDFT WPUFST UP PGUIFWPUFTDBTU NBLF TUSBUFHJD DIPJDFT JOTUFBE PG UIF CFTU DIPJDF JG UIFZ IPQF UP VOTFBU BO 8JUI *OTUBOU 3VOPČ 7PUJOH UIF JODVNCFOU NFUIPE .FTMJO JT QSPQPTJOH UIF.
