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.

Raising Awareness

Raising awareness is one of the most important activities with the upcoming referendum.

There was 30-50% awareness in the 2005 referendum when STV gained 58% support.

Once people understand what STV is about, over 70% are in favour, with very little dependence on what party they support.
