The PArty should have done something to simplify this and make it as easy to read and as clear as possible. I was also under the impression untill yesterday that people could only be a form 6 in one riding where they were actually living. So because I live in one riding and have a school residence in another I could have been a delegate in one or the other just like a member in one or the other. People should only be allowed to fill out one form 6. This is a complete abuse of process.S.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00696246515215639169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869044.post-1159533142298271382006-09-29T05:32:00.000-07:002006-09-29T05:32:00.000-07:00Of the 133 members on the most recent VINFLA list ...Of the 133 members on the most recent VINFLA list I know of 4 who have not lived in the riding for the past year. If any one died in the meantime they are still on the list, because you & I both know that lists are always out of date as soon as they are updated.If the LPCBC or for that matter the Riding President had been sending out mail via Canada Post they would have known this. <BR/><BR/>My understanding is that you have to be a member of the riding to vote. I can only hope that the LPCBC HQ understand this. ( Now that is cynical).<BR/><BR/>Bear in mind that this is a mail in ballot which was an arbitrary decision made with no explaination of what the rules are.There are 11 ridings receiving a mail in ballot or a partial mail in. The more I know the scarier it gets.<BR/><BR/>My past experience was with a simple slate, each candidate presented a slate with a total of allowed to be elected. <BR/>14 <BR/>2 YF, 2YM, 4AF,4AM,1SF,1SM<BR/>Keep It Simple Sweetheart has gone out of fashion with Form 6's arriving at HQ and Campaign s everyone who wanted to run gets to run.<BR/><BR/>A strike for democracy right. <BR/><BR/> For some reason they have chosen to list the slates in alphabetical order which has made it extremely difficult for members to figure out what category each person is running for, not to mention they have no idea who most of these people are.<BR/><BR/>One very distraught couple called me to say all they did was vote for the Leader on the 1st page of the ballot because page 2 of the ballot was so poorly explained they couldn't even read the names as all the slates were crowded onto that page (with the instructions in both official languages.)<BR/><BR/>But wait ..........<BR/><BR/>Page 3 has a partial slate and the final Volpe slate of 14.<BR/><BR/>The whole thing SUCKS!<BR/><BR/>I took a copy of my ballot before I marked it so that I could use the copy to check who was on our membership list marking it as I went. <BR/><BR/>If they were using page 3 anyway why wouldn't they spread out the slates to fill out the 2 pages instead of crowding (101 names) on one and 16 on the next. <BR/><BR/>This process here in BC is the political process of total abuse and manipulation that shows no respect for the Liberal party. <BR/><BR/>Scrutineers! I hope you know what you are doing.Lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113905007765409622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869044.post-1159506493277628362006-09-28T22:08:00.000-07:002006-09-28T22:08:00.000-07:00Are these out of riding people allowed to vote in ...Are these out of riding people allowed to vote in your riding? or is it just your 133 that vote? Far cry from my riding with 650 members, 62 running, all from in riding.James Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064830948270604331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869044.post-1159490277410255032006-09-28T17:37:00.000-07:002006-09-28T17:37:00.000-07:00Wow that's a sad story.

Did your riding association not effectively do this with their vote. I think your executive can have those other names disqualified. Its worth a shot. Best of luck. This should not happen.S.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00696246515215639169noreply@blogger.com
