Electoral reform committee discovers desire for change
KAMLOOPS — After months of canvassing voters in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding, a group of community members that formed a committee on election reform has concluded there is overwhelming desire for change.
Murray Todd says many people expressed frustration with the First-Past-The-Post voting system, which sees the winning candidate take the seat, regardless of the margin of victory.
According to the committee, about 90% of the participants said they would prefer a Proportional Representation system.
