Abstract
Comment on Grand Forks Citizens' Assembly hearing. [1 page]

Submission Content
I attended and made a brief presentation at the Grand Forks Citizens' Assembly meeting. I really appreciated the structured format of the meeting, which kept it focused, but which also allowed for questions and comments from the others in the room who wanted to speak. All of the Assembly members and staff were friendly and helpful.

I have a comment about the news release dated May 15 "Assembly Hears Mixed Messages". With regard to paragraph #3 as it pertains to the Grand Forks meeting:

I think a more precise description would be that, "In the Boundary, there was a clear consensus that change in our electoral system is overdue. Most of the speakers spoke clearly in favour of a mixed member proportional (MMP) electoral system and there was one well presented advocate for a single transferable vote system."
