I think there's enough of the electoral reform #plebiscite vote in to say that Yukoners have voted in favour of changing to Ranked Vote.

But this is non-binding, and the Yukon Party has promised that it will keep First Past The Post, regardless of the result of the plebiscite.

Ranked vote still leading in the #plebiscite on electoral reform. If it holds, it will be the second time that a province or territory has voted to change its electoral system.

It will also be the second time that the government of the day didn't follow through with the result.
