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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

HAGEDORN-1547

Proportional representation [PR] would bring fairness to the system and revitalize public partipation in the voting process.  Party list candidates must be chosen democratically and preferentially rated by the party membership. [1 page]

HALE-1546

I support a change to the MMP system This system would greatly improve voter interest, moderate the wild policy swings that have plagued BC over the years and would require increased cooperation between major and minor parties. [1 page]

BREUER-1545

I am writing to express my strong desire for electoral reform in BC.  I favour proportional representation [PR] because we need a fairer voting system to make the number of seats won proportional to the number of votes won. [1 page]

BOWLES-1544

I favour MMP because it allows minority voices to be represented.  Parties need to be heard so that they can attract those who share their core values.  In comparison to MMP, the STV system is less voter friendly. [two pages]

MCNEILL-1543

The true sign of a democracy is the right to vote, yet here, so many votes become null and void. How many votes have no say and are thrown away with the present system?. To make all votes count through PR is the first priority. [2 pages]
