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.

You can watch the first webinar in the series - on the nuts and bolts of Multi-Member PR Systems - here.

Sincerely,
