Earlier today, BC Liberals delegates approved a change to require that each BC Liberal Party voter to vote for 2 candidates on each ballot. The final vote was 751-606 for the change
Also - by a substantive vote of 1319-23 (or 98% of all votes cast), BC Liberal delegates approved a change to the Party's Constitution which will see each of the 85 Provincial Electoral District assigned 100 Points each and whichever candidate receives 50% + 1 of the 8500 Points or 4,251 Points will become the next BC Liberal Party Leader and 35th Premier of British Columbia. The change only required a 2/3's majority vote or 66% of all votes cast to approve the change
The debates with regard to the above was vigorous yet healthy for the Party. At one point, one delegate got tearful & emotional about the change from "1 person - 1 vote" to "weighted vote system". The shift in the campaign will now be on candidates to acquire a "first" vote and a "second" vote between now and Saturday, February 26th.
The campaign will get interesting from here on in...
