As I understand, the proposal goes something like this:
-
The number of Members of the National Assembly stays about the same (127), but now we have two types of seats.
-
The ridings are redrawn and reduced to 77. These are the "riding seats" and work the same way as before.
-
These ridings are also grouped into around 25 "districts". The remaining 50 MNAs in the Assembly will be occupying "district seats" to represent them.
-
Each party continues to run one candidate for each riding, as they did before. But in addition, they also run an ordered list of candidates for each district.
-
People keep voting the same way as before, only choosing one of the "riding candidates" by FPTP. The only difference here is that now these same votes will also count for determining the distribution of district seats.
-
The total number of votes each party received in a given district (though their "riding candidates" there) determines how many candidates will be picked from their list to occupy district seats. The formula used is
V / (S + 1)where V is the total of votes and S is the number of riding seats the party won in that district.
I probably screwed something up somewhere in there, but I believe this is the gist of it.
I had the same problem yesterday. Couldn’t vote or even open the sidebar on mobile Firefox or Safari, probably a javascript error. Didn’t matter if I was logged in or not. Today it’s back to normal.
