Kamloops students cast their votes in mock referendum
KAMLOOPS — With one week left for eligible voters to send their ballots in for the 2018 referendum on electoral reform, students at Westsyde Secondary cast their votes today (Nov. 30).
The students in Jeremy Reid’s Social Studies class have been learning about the referendum and researching the options British Columbians have in selecting a voting system.
“We’ve been learning about the referendum pretty much since the start of the school year,” Reid said. “We knew what the question was, we started researching different forms of proportional representation and also the different points of view. Students started looking at those three different systems, which were on the ballot.”
