Kamloops\u00a0B.C. (28 Apr 2017, 10 a.m.) \u2013\u00a0The Kamloops Voter Society (KVS) retained Justason Market Intelligence Inc. (JMI) to conduct an election poll for the Kamloops-North Thompson Riding. This survey was conducted between April 21 and 24th 2017, and provides a snapshot of voter preference in the riding at that time.<\/p>\n
The KVS believes in the importance of all citizens participating in the electoral process. Democracy is a privilege that needs to be worked at. Elections offer citizens a chance to participate in the democratic process. Vote because every election matters and your vote really does count.<\/p>\n
Voting helps choose those leaders who share our views or those who may inspire us. The simple act of marking a ballot tells leaders our views on how their decisions affect our lives. When voters don\u2019t turn out to choose their MLAs, they end up with a government that doesn\u2019t represent them. For all these reasons, eligible voters are encouraged to participate in the next provincial election.<\/p>\n
In 2013, only 58% of registered voters in the Kamloops \u2013 North Thompson riding turned out to vote. The percentage who voted in the 2009 provincial election was even lower, at 55%. One way of encouraging voters to get out and vote is to provide information on key election issues and where candidates sit with respect to voter preference. Our hope is that this poll<\/a> and the information within it will encourage residents to get out and vote in greater numbers in the upcoming election.<\/p>\n The findings of the poll are highlighted in the summary prepared by JMI<\/a>. Several key questions were asked of eligible voters in the riding including:<\/p>\n The full responses to the questions are in this summary.<\/a><\/p>\nFor more information contact:<\/strong><\/address>\nLeslie Lax<\/strong> \u2013 30 \u2013<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/address>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kamloops\u00a0B.C.
