Record response to electoral reform engagement process
VICTORIA — The provincial government says a record number of British Columbians provided input into its electoral reform engagement process.
Over the course of three months, the public engagement website received over 180,000 visits with over 88,000 questionnaires completed.
“Visitors spent time on the site learning about the referendum and voting systems used in B.C. and elsewhere in the world, in addition to spending an average of about 16 minutes completing the questionnaire,” said the government in a news release.
Attorney General David Eby was impressed noting how we choose our elected representatives “is a fundamental part of our democracy” and underlines how important the process is to residents.
