Prince Edward Island voters to cast verdict on new electoral system
CHARLOTTETOWN — Canadians are expected to learn late Tuesday whether the cradle of Confederation will give birth to one of the country’s first versions of proportional representation.
Alongside an election to pick a provincial government, voters will be asked to answer the question: “Should Prince Edward Island change its voting system to a mixed member proportional voting system?”
The winning side must receive more than 50 per cent of the votes cast and win a majority of votes in at least 60 per cent of the ridings.
