I have one suggestion and one concern.
The suggestion is that any alternative voting systems being
considered be tested by having mock elections involving as large a
number of people participating as possible. The purpose of this
would be to determine if:
1. Voters will understand and be able to use the proposed system
easily and correctly.
2. The system produces the results the Assembly expects it
to.
My concern is how party slates will be selected if a proportional
representation system is proposed. Will there be controls to ensure
that the names on the list do not all come from one region of the
Province? Will all party members be able to take part in the
selection process? Will there be controls on signing up mass
instant party members by candidates?
