Thumbs up Toronto considering ranked voting (instant-runoff voting)

Democracy doesn’t depend just on voting — counting matters, too. And city hall is looking at shifting the way Toronto does both.

City council is to consider a “ranked ballot” initiative at its two-day meeting starting Tuesday. If this measure ultimately comes to fruition, it could radically alter the way Canada’s sixth largest government is elected.
This is precisely the type of electoral reform that Canada needs more of, and the article linked within this article suggests it has majority support.
