Online Voting Debate Back in the News in British Columbia

13 January 2011 | Voting

The debate over online voting is back in the news as BC Liberal Party leadership candidates and the municipalities of Vancouver and Surrey indicated their support for the idea.

The Globe and Mail has a story on Christy Clark's proposal to look at online voting and the support the proposal has received from the other BC Liberal Party leadership contestants.

In Vancouver and Surrey, city councils are looking at the concept for the upcoming municipal elections in November 2011. Jeff Lee of the Vancouver Sun has written about this in his blog.
