Krist Novoselic recently showed support for an alternate voting system to possibly be implemented in British Columbia.
Novoselic spoke at a rally on May 1st at the University of British Columbia, commenting on his transition from musician to political activist.
“Where there’d be a lot of enthusiasm for people who would want to participate in a benefit concert, or they’d want to testify at the local council meeting, there wasn’t a lot of enthusiasm for voting, which is basically the interface between the citizen and their government,” Novoselic said. “I was on-line, in 1996 and 1997, and I was browsing on-line and did some searches and I discovered proportional voting, preferential ballot, rank-choice voting, single transferable vote, and that there was a history of it in the United States and in Canada.”
