British Columbians have voted against changing the province’s electoral system. In a province-wide referendum, 61.3 per cent of voters cast a ballot against proportional representation, with 38.7 per cent of voters voting in favour of changing the electoral system.

Elections BC Chief Electoral officer Anton Boegman reported that when it came to the three options for proportional representation, B.C. voters chose the system of mixed member proportional.

Mike McDonald is a communications strategist, and he had been blogging about the potential results of the electoral reform referendum before the results were released yesterday. What does he think about how British Columbian’s voted?
