1. Mississauga City Council will be discussing ranked ballots tomorrow. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗳️" title="Wahlurne mit Stimmzettel" aria-label="Emoji: Wahlurne mit Stimmzettel"> Here are some reasons why they should move forward with reform! #ONpoli #Mississauga

2. First, Mississauga city council is one of the most disproportionately white councils in Ontario!! The data on ranked ballots is clear: more choice + more diversity: #research_rcvrepresentation">https://www.fairvote.org/data_on_rcv #research_rcvrepresentation">https://www.fairvote.org/data_on_r... #CouncilSoWhite

3. First-past-the-post elections tend to deliver binary races, with only two front-runners. Look at these charts to see what happened in London Ontario, when they switched to ranked ballots!

4. Despite all the fear mongering about costs, London& #39;s experience shows us that ranked ballots only cost about $2 per voter for the first year of implementation, and roughly TEN CENTS per voter for future elections. That& #39;s small change, for big change!

5. Ranked ballots are already used all across Canada, by every political party, to elect their own leaders. It& #39;s also the fastest spreading reform in North America, with recent adoption by New York City and the entire state of Maine! Here& #39;s the ranked ballot used by @CPC_HQ:

6. Lastly: Guess which voting system Mississauga city councillors use when THEY vote to choose an interim city councillor? (HINT: It& #39;s not first past the post https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">)

7. So if runoff voting is good enough for #Mississauga council to use, if it& #39;s proven to increase diversity + choice, if it& #39;s easy to use + affordable, then why WOULDN& #39;T council move forward with such a small + simple reform? Here& #39;s what London voters say: https://youtu.be/IqOhV_JrUIk ">https://youtu.be/IqOhV_JrU...
