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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BAUBIEN-0004

A design for an event registry for a series of elections. [1 page + 4 pages of diagrams, not scanned]

BAUMAN-0721

After two years of due consideration, I feel that a mixed member proportional representation [MMP] system such as they have in Germany and New Zealand is the worst possible electoral system, except for all the rest. [1 page]

BAZETT-0243

I sincerely hope we will see a Mixed Proportional Representation [MMP] System in BC, and in Canada too eventually.  First past the post elections are won by whoever has the most money, and primarily cater to  influence peddlers.  [1 page]

BEAGLEY-0253

I have had to make very difficult choices when I believed in a local candidate but not their party's platform (or vice versa). Proportional representation [with MMP] would allow my voting voice to be heard much more clearly. [1 page]

BEATTIE-0533

Under the present system, a vote for a third party only serves to elect one of the parties I don't want and my voice is lost.  A form of mixed member proportional representation [MMP] is required. [1 page]
