SUBMISSIONS FROM THE PUBLIC

Members of the public sent to the Assembly a total of 1,603 public submissions during the 13 months ended 27 September 2004. And you can access them all lower down on this page.

Incidentally, the numbers on the submissions appear to show that there are 1,669 of them. After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603. Unfortunately, we cannot renumber the submissions to reflect that.

If a posted submission is dated after 27 September, that date refers to the date the submission was processed and posted to the website, not the date it was received. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

CLARK-1653

I would like to be able to vote for a candidate that I like, as well as, be able to vote for a party [MMP]. These rwo may be different, that is, the candidate I want may not represent the party I want. [1 page]

CLARKE-1337

MMP is the best system of voting because it allows voters more flexibility and will increase the diversity of views in the government. There will be more interest in the elections when voters don't feel like winners and losers. [2 pages]

CLEARY-1153

An MMP system will give more choice to voters (voting for a local representative and voting for a party), and will ensure that almost all votes count towards electing a person's first choice together with proportional election results. [1 page]

COCHRAN-1576

Support for an MMP system with a legislature of 100 seats, 25 chosen from party lists. Within the one year before a general election, a party's slate of candidates must be elected by all registered party members. [2 pages]

COLBY-0942

I believe that a mixed proportional representation [MMP] system with 2 votes (one for local representative and one for the party that best matches my philosophy) is the best system for BC. [1 page]
