There is no problem or anything difficult in Alternative Voting. It is simple and fair. Under the old system of voting, it was possible for the candidate or party with a minority vote to get elected. For instance, if two candi- dates had 1000 votes each and the third had 1025, the third candidate would win even though 2000 votes had been cast against him. Under the Alternative Vote this is impossible. You mark the ballot thus: 1-for your first choice; 2-for your second choice and so on. If, on the first count, candidate, there is no absolute majority for any one the one with the fewest ballots marked in lis favor is dropped and his ballots distributed among the candidates according to the second choices as indicated on these ballots. Again, if on the second count, no absolute majority is reached the same process would be used again. Then, when the candidate who has more votes than all the other candidates together is found, he wins and is elected. Remember, all you have to do is to mark a numeral 1-2-3-4 against the candidates listed on the ballot in order of your preference. CUT OUT THIS MESSAGE FOR REFERENCE AND DISCUSSION A copy of a brochure entitled “* Alternative Voting” containing detailed information will be mailed to all British Columbia householders.
