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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

WORNELL-1307

I support an MMP system.  I believe it would result in: fairer results, better representation of the popular vote, better geographic representation, and improved voter turn-out and buy-in to the political process. [1 page]

WEAVER-1306

It is important to me that the number of seats in the legislature reflects the way votes are cast. I favour an electoral method that best allows for representation of the full diversity of the people and gives a voice to minorities. [1 page]

STEWART-1304

I clearly recognize the need for a change to a more representative form of electing our officials and trying to bring some meaningful change to an unfortunately somewhat antiquated, entrenched, and ailing political system. [1 page]

PALOMINO-1303

I am happy to see the Citizens' Assembly searching for a more equitable voting system but I am opposed to multiple-riding system unless every riding has the same number of representatives. Also, I do not like preferential ballots.  [1 page]
