I think the clerk is either wrong, or more likely misquoted, the lack of a binding referendum does not preclude ranked ballots, London had no referendum, and used ranked ballots, and I cannot find anything in the Municipal Elections Act which states a referendum is required.

Certainly, the council can choose to ignore the result, but I believe they could also choose to use ranked ballots in 2022, although, that was true without the referendum as well.

Did the new mayor have a position on ranked ballots, I wonder?
