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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

MASER-1574

MMP would help reduce voter turnoff and cynicism and it would improve the resiliency of our communities, cities and regions in dealing with increasingly complex issues, challenges and problems. [2 pages]

Author: Michael Maser

REFORD-1573

I favour MMP for BC  with MLA numbers increased to 160, half to be women and 10% for native peoples; two MLAs in 53 constituency seats with 52 party lists seats.  The pay for MLAs would be cut in half to accommodate this. [2 pages]

BROWN-1572

'Why do we vote and what do we expect of our voting system?'  [3 pages]
Category: Electoral system change
Author: Les Brown
Date: Sep 06, 2004

CHUTE-1571

I am strongly in favour of an electoral system that features direct proportionality (the number of seats a party gets provincially is in proportion to the number of votes they get).  The best system to model ours after is an MMP system. [1 page]

LUCY-1570

I am opposed to the current electoral system and favour MMP. I am not in favour of STV and even less in favour of the 'Preferential Plus' proposal by Nick Loenen. [1 page]
