About This Blog

In the 2005 referendum, British Columbians voted 58 percent in favour of BC-STV. New referendum legislation required 60 percent. Volunteers who support the YES for BC-STV campaign are working hard to get the second referendum, to be held May 12th, passed. This blog is designed as a source for Mid-Island volunteers, supporters and interested members of the public.

FAQ: What is BC-STV?

STV stands for Single Transferable Vote, a proportional system of electoral reform which delivers near proportional results, local representation and more choice for voters.

The Referendum upcoming on May 12th is a return of the 2005 Referendum question.

It is back by popular demand, since last time British Columbians voted 58 percent in favour of BC-STV, two percentage points shy of the 60 percent required by the BC government.
