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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BRUNDIGE-0140

I favour the preferential ballot because I believe that the requirement of picking up support on the second round of counting will drive political parties to the centre.  Proportional representation may give too much power to parties.  [1 page]

BRUNHAM-1409

Any electoral changes which allow parties to appoint representatives based on a percentage of the popular vote will re-enforce the major weakness of the existing system. Voters must vote for individuals who should represent them. [1 page]

BRUS-0951

MMP would ensure that the number of seats granted to a party reflected the level of support they garnered in the voting process, while ensuring that consituencies still have a point person that is responsible to them. [1 page]

BRYAN-0404

The Mixed Member Proportional electoral system would be better for BC than the Single Transferable Vote. MMP would be a more accurate representation of what voters voted for & would lead to more women being elected. [1 page]

BRYAN-1420

When citizens do not feel represented, then they loose hope, initiative and the motivation to be involved in the political arena. As a 'youth' of today, I am strongly urging British Columbia to adopt an MMP voting system. [1 page]
