Choice Voting Blog

Efforts are underway at UCLA to move their student government to a 20-member student Senate elected by choice voting. They are calling it the Hare system, which is another name for choice voting, or single transferable voting. See this Daily Bruin article for UCLA coverage of the effort.

The effort in British Columbia, Canada is also moving along, with a province-wide choice voting referendum happening this May. British Columbia's 160-member Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform recommended choice voting 146-7 last fall after studying different voting systems for 11 months. Check out this cool flash animation created by the assembly to educate BC citizens about choice voting.

Here are three more web sites with more information on the BC referendum: the BC Citizens' Assembly alumni page, STV for BC (campaign site), and Fair Voting BC (education site).
