It's a modern, well-established voting system: which the Citizens' Assembly tailored to become a "made in BC" solution.
STV produces fairer outcomes: When parties win only the number of seats that they earn and nearly all votes help elect someone, then government works for the people.
We get more effective representation: With greater voter choice leading to more competitive local contests and an end to "safe" seats, STV rewards the voters with MLAs who know their seats depend on public service.
It delivers more responsive governments: Because larger parties can put forward a more diverse set of candidates, and smaller parties or independents may win some seats, the work of the legislature will better reflect new and important ideas shared by many British Columbians.
It works for voters: In Ireland, politicians have twice asked voters to get rid of STV in favour of First-Past-The-Post, and the voters turned them down.
Why do voters like BC-STV? Because only when voters' intentions are accurately translated into seats can we truly hold our governments accountable.
