Your Voice: How do you plan on voting in the referendum on electoral reform?

British Columbians are going to the polls to decide whether the province should move to a proportional representation system.

Craig Bonamis

Student

I think maybe proportional representation would be kind of better. I think I'd say. Because then at least everyone's voice is heard. As opposed to your vote being useless if you know a riding's always going to go to a certain candidate.

Sarah Small

Social worker

I'm going to vote against it. I like the way it's broken down right now. I don't think we've had enough time to go over what the referendum questions are. I think a lot of people are confused.

Jorge Guillén

I'm Jehova Witness. I don't participate in politics. In the bible, it says God established a government in the heavens ... He's already ruling. We don't vote because we believe the only government that will resolve the problems will be the heavenly father.

Wayne Williams

Business owner

To be honest I'm running my own company. I'm a courier, so I'm on the road all day long. I don't even have enough time to keep up with our news.

Alice Kamani

My husband and I were just discussing, I don't think we know enough yet to make an informed decision ... All I've heard so far are the radio ads about how it could possibly change the way we're going to vote in a provincial election. We have to look at what it is they're changing and why.
