Does the proposed ranked ballot voting system lean toward any particular party?
Your questions: Does the proposed ranked ballot voting system lean toward any particular party?
Thanks for the question!
The ranked ballot does a better job of electing the government that most voters want. It doesn’t favour any one party, it favours voters!
The ranked ballot doesn’t favour a particular party. That’s up to the voters. It does reward parties for appealing to a broad range of voters. That’s because a majority of voters have to be willing to vote for them. This is very different from our current voting system, where candidates are often elected by a minority of the voters.
The ranked ballot is not proposed by politicians! It is recommended as the best system for the Yukon by a nonpartisan Citizens Assembly of 38 ordinary Yukoners from every community and every riding across the territory. The Citizens Assembly reported to the legislature, not the government or any party.
