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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BALL-0294

I favour the mixed member proportional [MMP] method as it is simple and results in a good compromise between proportional representation and local representation. [1 page]

BANANA-0479

I want an electoral system that distributes seats according to the percentage of votes each party/candidate receives.  I like the idea of two votes [MMP], one for the electoral district candidate/representative, and one for the party. [2 pages]

BANCROFT-0161

Proportionality is the most important electoral principle. With the help of MMP, our public representatives can represent the will of the public in as accurate a way as possible while retaining local representation.  [2 pages]

BANCROFT-0962

Although STV has many aspects that make it quite interesting and worth serious consideration, it is ultimately not in this province's interest as a goal of electoral reform. For this purpose, our best bet is MMP. [2 pages]

BANDCROFT-0599

MMP offers all voters an opportunity to vote for people, and for the party policies they believe in. It'd be especially democratic if we, rather than the parties, can create the list of candidates who may be chosen to represent us. [1 page]
