The First Steps Toward Electoral Reform

The Liberals created a Citizen's Assembly (CA) to look at electoral reform.

They chose 160 members at random to represent the general population of BC.

The Citizen's Assembly spent most of 2004 learning and consulting with the public about electoral reform.

The recommendation of the CA was for BC-STV over the present FPTP, based on 95% support.
