Abstract:
|
This paper looks at the experience of three recent Citizens’ Assemblies on Electoral Reform to explore the values held by ordinary citizens with respect to electoral systems and the impact of those views on their choice of appropriate systems. The three Assemblies in question (British Columbia, the Netherlands and Ontario) all operated in the same way but ended up recommending different systems. Data taken from successive surveys of Assembly members allow us to trace the patterns of deliberation and decision-making in each and reveals the relative importance of key determining criteria including proportionality, voter choice and local representation. |
