The Citizens’ Assembly has proposed a new proportional electoral system for B.C. It’s BC-STV, a version of the Single Transferable Vote system. The Assembly claims that It could be a form of proportional representation that could improve electoral democracy and fairness.

According to the Assembly:

Under the proportional BC-STV system, voters rank candidates by numbers on the ballot paper. BC-STV is designed to make every vote count, and to reflect voters’ support for candidates and parties as fairly as possible. It was proposed by the Assembly after almost 10 months of study, research and debate, plus 50 public hearings and 1,603 written submissions from the public.
