Ranked Ballot Initiative of Toronto (RaBIT) Information

Ranked Ballot Initiative of Toronto (RaBIT) is a Canadian, grassroots, public policy and advocacy group that supports reforming the municipal electoral voting system in the city of Toronto from a first-past-the-post voting system to instant runoff voting. We believe that by introducing ranked ballots for Toronto municipal elections, we can make a small and simple change that will make our elections more fair and friendly. RaBIT's approach is strictly non-partisan, positive, municipally-focused, and collaborative. RaBIT has managed to gather support for its campaign from a wide spectrum of community leaders, Toronto City Councillors, and journalists. RaBIT was originally founded by 'community choreographer' Dave Meslin. Now an incorporated not-for-profit organization led by a working board of volunteer directors, RaBIT is advocating for Toronto to move to a ranked ballot voting system.
