For those interested, it might be interesting to note that B.C. did away with a transferable ballot system of voting in the early ’50s.
Among other reasons, it was felt at the time that this system was hard to understand, and a simpler system might lead to more voter turnout.
We are now looking at proposals to make the voting system more complicated again. How the pendulum swings and history does have a habit of repeating itself.
