On May 12, 2009 British Columbia voters will decide the following referendum question:

Which electoral system should British Columbia use to elect members to the provincial Legislative Assembly?

The Referendum Information Office has been established by the provincial government to provide neutral information to voters about the referendum. This site contains details about the referendum vote, as well as information on the current electoral system and the BC-STV system proposed by the Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform.

The provincial government is remaining neutral in the referendum. Funding is being provided to independent referendum proponent and opponent groups to conduct information campaigns supporting and opposing BC-STV.
