Metro Vancouver Invites Comments about Electoral Area A Election Administration

Metro Vancouver is reviewing the way it administers its elections in Electoral Area A, with the aim of making improvements in time for the next local elections in November 2011. We are seeking your views.

Metro Vancouver is interested in hearing whether the electors of Electoral Area A have enough information before, during and after the election, whether they believe they have a good opportunity to participate in the process, and where they think improvements could be made.

We are interested in your views, and invite you to write to Metro Vancouver with suggestions by October 1, 2010. Please forward your suggestions to:

Chris Plagnol, Deputy Corporate Secretary
Metro Vancouver
4330 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC V5H 4G8

Your responses will be summarized and a public report will be considered by Metro Vancouver’s Electoral Area Committee.

Electoral Area A comprises University Endowment Lands, University of British Columbia lands, Bowyer Island, Grebe Islets, Passage Island, Barnston Island, and those areas of Howe Sound, Indian Arm and West Pitt Lake in the GVRD not within a municipal corporation.

 Alternative Approval Processes

An Alternative Approval Process is another method of voting that enables electors to state their opposition to a proposition put forward by the Board. If more than 10% of electors express their opposition, the Board cannot proceed with the proposition. This is an alternative method to an election or referendum that may be used in certain cases to seek approval from electors.

At present there are no Alternative Approval Processes before the electorate.
