Special guest: Byron Weber Becker teaches Computer Science at University of Waterloo. He has combined his passion for electoral change and his computer science expertise into a web site (election-modelling.ca) with detailed simulations of how various proportional options for Canada perform with different features under different conditions. He testified to the all-party committee on electoral reform and was asked to do additional work modelling systems for them. Byron has been involved with the design of two made-for-Canada
electoral systems, Rural-Urban Proportional Representation (in collaboration with Fair Vote Canada and Fair Voting BC – see webinar three in this series) and Local Proportional Representation.
Following the presentation, you'll be able to ask questions of Byron via a chat box.
Only proportional systems can deliver on our most important values: effective votes, fair representation, collaborative politics, voter choice, diversity, regional balance, and more accountable government.
In our July survey for supporters, we asked you what webinar topics you would like to see. Finding out how PR works in other countries, understanding the nuts and bolts of the PR systems for Canada, how to talk to the public most effectively about PR were the most frequently requested topics. As a result, we have a full schedule of webinars you can register for this fall and more planned for the winter. Check out what's coming up here:
We hope you can join us on Saturday October 21 at 2 PM EDT - register here! Please share this webinar widely with friends who may be interested!
Thanks for being part of the campaign to Make Every Vote Count!
Sincerely,
Anita Nickerson
FVC Action Coordinator
