Vancouver Electoral Reform Commission

City of Vancouver Electoral Reform Commission overview meeting




Webcast from the January 21, 2004 "Overview meeting" with academic experts, of the Vancouver Electoral Reform Commission at Simon Fraser University, Harbour Centre



Time for change


For decades Vancouver has been burdened with an undemocratic "at large" voting system which favours wealthy westside voters. Now, finally, with a progressive majority on city council, a reform commission is beginning a process which could bring a more democratic "ward" system to city elections.

This webcast was from the second in a series of fifteen public forums and meetings presented by the Vancouver Electoral Reform Commission. Headed by Tom Berger, the Commission will make recommendations to Vancouver City Council in 2004 on possible changes to the City's electoral system.

Taped January 21, 2004, it featured local academic experts on municipal politics, Professors Patrick Smith, Kennedy Stewart and Paul Tennant.
