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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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).

NOBBS-1322

In order to have confidence in our government, we have to feel truly represented by those we elect. Let's make the system one that we can more fully participate in, as we should in a real democracy. Let's make the move to MMP. [1 page]

DAWSON-1321

If the Assembly is to be fair all the way around in its presenters to the entire Assembly, there should be, at the very least, equal representation proportional to the submissions in support of each voting system. [1 page]

GOLDSBERRY-1320

With MMP, we need to keep our ridings a reasonable size, require parties to run candidates in at least half the ridings, and ensure democratic election of list candidates by parties. Or, we could find ourselves less well represented. [2 pages]
