Submission Content
Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting is a sensible system which is fair as well as being comparatively easy to administer. It will, of course, leave our current system of one local representative per riding intact, and achieve proportionality with a second vote for the preferred party.

British Columbians want a change in the voting system, but when the referendum occurs, will we be willing to commit to the Single Transferable Vote [STV], which is more complicated and more difficult to administer? Surely we need to be offered a system that seems within the realm of possibility.

Thank you for your work on our behalf: in the deliberation and decision phase, please choose and recommend MMP for BC.
