The voting system in Chatham-Kent for electing municipal officials isn’t changing after a report came back on ranked balloting.
Councillor Brock McGregor wanted to investigate the ranked ballot system – which would allow voters to rank candidates rather than choosing just one – but decided against it.
The system would cost money and would take time to implement, and no other Ontario municipality is using it.
Instead, Chatham-Kent will continue to use the first-past-the-post voting system.
