> Kitchener decides ranked voting system too involved
> 
> Councillors voted 9-2 to follow the recommendations of the city
> clerk and not change the voting system, at least for the next
> election in 2018. [...] Local elections are already complicated
> enough, [...] Councillors said.

but
> Coun. Sarah Marsh disagreed. "I really feel that we shouldn't be
> underestimating the intelligence of the electorate." A system that
> better reflected voter preference "might even inspire more people
> to come out and vote."
