With all the lawn signs and happy, positive commercials (grin) popping up, it is hard not to know we have a provincial election on May 12th. But did you know that we also have a referendum on our electoral system? We’ll be choosing between the current First Past the Post and Single Transferable Vote (BC-STV).
