Norton, Kevin No I do not support the idea of ranked ballots in principal for most elections. It mostly serves to add the number of work hours require to tally the results of an election.
Risdale, Marc Rhéal Yes Yes. Ranked ballots are a concept worth exploring, especially in municipal elections were the number of candidates in a ward can mean that a Councillor could be elected with as little as 10 percent support. Ranked ballots would ensure that the eventual winner would represent the broadest possible range of interests.
Scime, Danya Yes YES, I would also like to see electronic voting brought in for the younger generation as well as Polling Stations.
Vanderbeek, Arlene No No. Not without extensive research and public input.
Yull, Toby Yes Ranked ballots make sense to me.
