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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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.

the public, here are:

My preference for an electoral system is the MMP (New Zealand)
model. I feel it is the most appropriate system for our province
because it is reasonably uncomplicated and would maintain adequate
rural representation. [1 page]

I feel confident entrusting the members of the
Citizens' Assembly with the task of assessing the way we
elect our MLAs and will take their recommendation very seriously if
the process ends in a referendum. [1 page]

Proportionality, choice, stability, institutional reform and
local links are not inherently incompatible goals for an electoral
system and could all be achieved with some form of proportional
representation or mixed proportional system. [2 pages]
