Barrie—Innisfil

GPO       Bonnie North has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"I support municipal ranked ballots as a first step in an overall plan to finally institute electoral reform, across all political jurisdictions, in Ontario and across Canada. It's long past the time when 2015 was supposed to be the "Last election under FPTP." The time for change is now."

LPO        John Olthuis has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"Ranked ballots seem to be more democratic in that you, as an individual, have more choice. If your first choice is not successful, your second or third is still in consideration. Ultimately, the candidate with the highest level of consideration within the populous will be successful."

LPO        Jeff Lehmann has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"As a municipal politician, I supported the extension of democratic rights for municipalities, this included giving them the option to adopt alternative voting methods like ranked ballot. If elected as MPP, I would continue to support local democratic rights for municipalities."

NDP       Beverly Patchell has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"Giving municipalities the power to decide how they want to run their own elections, including ranked ballots—would improve democracy at the municipal level."

GPO       Lisa Francis has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"The Ontario Green Party's plan for democratic reform includes creating a diverse, randomly selected Citizens Assembly on electoral reform with a mandate to provide binding recommendations on modernising Ontario's electoral system to ensure that every vote counts and the legislature reflects the democratic will of the people. We will allow municipalities the option to use a ranked ballot voting system for elections."

Simcoe—Grey

GPO       Allan Kuhn has not yet taken the Candidate Pledge

LPO        Ted Crysler has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"Ranked ballots help ensure a better democratic outcome as the successful candidate must obtain at least 50% of the vote in order to win. This ensures that someone cannot win through the vote splitting process and the winning candidate is more likely to represent the wishes of the citizens of the municipality."

NDP       Keith Nunn has taken the Candidate Pledge:

"While I think Mixed Member Proportional would be a better system for the provincial legislature, I believe that municipal electors would be best served if they had the option of a ranked ballot to ensure that the candidate had some level of support from a majority of their constituents rather than simply a plurality. This is true not just for large municipalities, but small ones like those in Simcoe-Grey."
