Fair Vote Kamloops hosting information sessions today
KAMLOOPS— Fair Vote Kamloops will hosting public information sessions this afternoon, ahead of the Proportional Representation Referendum.
Mail-in ballots will be sent out Monday for B.C voters to give their input on whether they’d like to stick with the current First Past the Post system, or move to a Proportional Representation system.
Team Leader Gisela Ruckert says they’d like to put more information into people’s hands about what the systems actually are.
“These are half hour information sessions, and usually have a very lively question and answer period afterwards.” Ruckert says, “In our presentations, we usually cover the reason why we’re having this, why this keeps coming up in B.C, and why people keep advocating for electoral reform. Then we talk a little bit about what we can expect under each system.”
