New Elections Ontario website up for referendum

Elections Ontario has posted its website to educate voters on the highly-anticipated referendum on electoral reform. The site educates voters on the two systems, our present one and the proposed Mixed Member Proportion (MMP). There is an exhaustive list of links to follow as well as an FAQs section. Below is what seems to be the proposed ballot to be used in the referendum.

Remember to vote in favour of MMP on October 10th!


Elections Ontario (neither for nor against MMP) has also done the following:

  • registered a profile and group on Facebook for people to get access to more information and discuss the referendum - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4103057895
  • set-up a public, toll-free information telephone line, 1-888-ONTVOTE (1-888-668-8683)
  • set-up an easy-to-share widget for individuals to use and share (available later this month)
  • designed traditional advertising including province-wide radio, television and print outlets, as well as direct-to-voter information via direct mail
  • engaged over 100 dedicated Resource Officers who can deliver community information sessions throughout the province
