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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BANGAY-0205

There are many reforms needed in our electoral system but chosing to use the New Zealand model of a mixed member proportional (MMP) system would be an excellent first step. [1 page]

BANGAY-0307

A first step to making government more accountable is by making the electoral system more representative of the votes cast. The best way to achieve this goal is a mixed member proportional (MMP) system. [1 page]

BANGAY-1097

I am part of the over 70% of those making submissions who favour the MMP model. STV cannot make the claim to be more democratic than the MPP system, since the voting system at the polls is more complex. [2 pages]

BARNES-1533

I believe that the MMP system would be the best system to adopt in BC.  It would allow for both regional as well as party representation in our legislature.  It would also make my vote (and everyone else's) count for something. [2 pages]

BARRETT-0237

I want a vote that counts in the province that I live and work in, and in my opinion the best method is the MMP, mixed member proportional electoral system! [1 page]
