"But while [ranked ballots] might be strictly non-partisan, it is decidedly pro-voter – and almost always produces a more positive, issue-focused campaign ... 96% [of survey respondants] said their ballot was easy to fill out." Glad to see it, NYC! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Happy ranked ballot voting day to those in New York voting in the Democratic mayoral candidate contest! We're watching from Toronto and look forward to seeing the results. #TOPoli

A short primer on ranked choice voting, or ranked ballots from @britannica.com. Thanks for the shout-out of Canadian Conservative & Liberal Party leadership contests in this article!

Well, this is exciting news! We love to see places taking next steps in implementing ranked ballots for their municipal elections. This time, it’s Boston! City Council says yes to voting reform, now it’s off to the State for approval. We wish them luck! www.governing.com/politics/bos...

Enjoy voting by ranked ballot, federal Liberal Party members - there's still time in the leadership contest! And then take a moment to sign our petition: if political parties can use ranked ballots to elect leaders, the rest of us should be able to, too. www.rabit.ca/sign_the_pet...

We so admire everyone putting themselves forward to run, but wouldn’t it be great if they had a real mandate, not winning “by just a few votes”? A ranked ballot could have given the next Don Valley West school trustee a true majority. We deserve better elections. #TOPoli #VotingReform

Thank you, Ontarians! To all the candidates, those who took our pledge and even those who didn't, thank you for putting yourself forward and working so hard on your campaigns. Thank you to everyone who reached out to their local candidates to get them to take our pledge.

Still true… Polls close at 9, so you’ve still got time! If you’re on your way home, make sure to mark you ballot on your way!

There are still lots of hours left to vote today (and the weather seems a bit better than this morning...) Plenty of time to get out there and mark your ballot! Ontario: GO VOTE! #OnPoli #RankedBallots
