Power up your Vote

On May 12, 2009, BC residents will vote in a provincial election that includes a referendum question about electoral reform. Specifically, the question is:

Which electoral system should British Columbia use to elect members to the provincial Legislative Assembly?

The options are:

  • The existing electoral system (First-Past-The-Post)
  • The single transferable vote electoral system (BC-STV) proposed by the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform

After reviewing the options, I believe the Single Transferable Vote to be the best option for BC. Take a look at the BC STV site to learn more about what the Single Transferable Vote will mean to you.

While I believe the alternate side is overplaying the complexity of the system, take some time to review the No STV position and decide for yourself.
