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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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.

the public, here are:

I strongly support Mixed Member Proportional voting for
BC. This is preferable to other systems, including
single transferable vote [STV]. MMP is clear, fair and actualizes
democracy more than the current or other possible systems. [1

I strongly urge you to recommend MMP for BC voters. We must have
a system that includes the wide range of our citizens, and must be
relatively simple, or voters won't understand it enough to vote for
it in a referendum. [1 page]

I believe it is critcal that electoral reform be undertaken.
Reform is needed to engage a larger segment of the population in
the political process and to break free from the adversarial
political climate fostered by our current system. [1 page]
