 Ranked Ballot
Election results on ranked ballot question
AnswerNumber of votes
Yes 13,488
No 10,449

What do the results of the 2018 ranked ballot question mean?

In response to the referendum question on the 2018 ballot, 13,488 people voted in favour of implementing a ranked ballot system for the 2022 Municipal Election; while 10,449 voted no. Total voter turnout for the 2018 election was 32.24 per cent and 27.27 per cent of all eligible voters voted on the ranked ballot question.  

Under the Ontario Municipal Act, referendum results are binding on the municipality when at least 50 per cent of all eligible electors vote on the question.

If this question had received a binding "yes" result, the new Cambridge City Council would have worked to implement the ranked ballot system for the 2022 Municipal Election. 

If this question had received a binding "no" result, Council would not consider or proceed with any change in the voting system to a ranked ballot system during the 2018-2022 term of office.

With voter turnout at less than 50 per cent of eligible voters, the results of the referendum are not binding on the municipality and Council may take the results under advisement and proceed on the matter as it chooses.
