Abstract
I hope the Assembly chooses to promote some form of proportional representation [PR] but, as a citizen of rural BC, I would be appalled if the Preferential-Plus option or single transferable vote [STV] were considered. [1 page]

Submission Content
I am unable at this last minute to make a detailed presentation but I would like to make my preference for electoral reform known and hope that it will count for something when the Assembly is considering its recommendation. Having read many of the submissions I would hope the Assembly chooses to promote some form of proportional representation [PR], looking to the models that have been most successful in achieving the aims of electoral reform such as Sweden.

As a citizen of rural BC I would be appalled if the Preferential-Plus option or Single transferable vote [STV] were considered.  Either oif those systems would only continue to marginalize and disenfranchise a large number of citizens. Thank you for your consideration.
