Section 80 inadequate Voter registration system reforms needed

If the right to cast an election ballot is the most legislation which gives a ballot on election day to British Columbians cast Section 80 ballots in the treasured element of a democratic society, reform residents who are qualified to vote but who are, for October 22 provincial election. That's 10,000 more of B.C.'s current voter registration system is not one reason or another, not named on the roll of than the number of people who were officially only desirable but necessary. voters. Section 80, however, is as much a symbol registered to vote here, in Saanich-and-the One means used to ensure all residents can of gaps in the system as it is an attempt to offset the Islands. exercise fundamental right to vote is Section 80, inadequacies of enumeration efforts. Further, the estimate does not include the the clause in B.C.'s current election procedure Current estimates are that as many as 50,000 number of non-registered voters who did not bother lining up at polling stations around the province to beg for a ballot, or those who may have given up the quest. Reports are that at several polls, potential voters faced one to two-hour waits in the Section 80 line, and that several stations ran short of the forms needed to certify their right to vote. Hardly an inducement to cast a ballot, is it? However, the task facing the provincial government is not plugging gaps that surfaced in the Section 80 system, but improving the entire enumeration system to a point where Section 80 ballots become a rarity. When a minimum of 50,000 residents were overlooked in the most recent gathering of names, something is clearly amiss. Several sensible and workable proposals have already been put forward by critics of the current system, including a call for registration to accompany renewal of a driver's licence, or to periodically include registration forms with mail- outs that reach virtually every home in the province — i.e., B.C. Hydro or B.C. Telephone bills. Before the next provincial election, the B.C. government must implement one of those measures, or something of its own choosing that promises to work at least as well.
