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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BOULTON-0571

I support a system similar to the mixed member proportional system [MMP] because it encourages voter participation and makes the application of each vote more democratic. [1 page]

BOUMAN-1068

The current electoral system does not fairly represent the will of the public. I believe that some system of proportional representation [PR] needs to be developed and placed before the public for approval. [1 page]

BOURASSA-1346

I support electoral reform that will work towards proportional representation [PR]. All citizens will feel that their vote counts once we have proportional representation. [1 page]

BOURICIUS-0228

The most suitable form of PR is the Irish system of Single Transferable Voting (STV) because it is a candidate-based voting system rather than a party-based one. While other forms of PR (such as MMP) have value, STV is better. [2 pages]

BOURNE-0174

By changing our electoral system to some form of mixed proportional representation, similar to New Zealand, we can foster commitment and cooperation of the people of BC toward positive participation in social change. [1 page]
