[email protected] Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Did you know that almost all voting in the Nova Scotia Legislature is NOT recorded? You have no way of finding out how your representative is voting or even if your representative is present in the House. The Parliament in Ottawa records all votes, so too should Nova Scotia's Legislature. We need recorded votes to make House activity transparent and to give the voters of Nova Scotia the power to assess and hold accountable those who vote in their names. So join the campaign to have all votes recorded in the Nova Scotia Legislature! What you can do 1. Sign our petition. http://www.gopetition.com/online/31901.html 2. Email your MLA. Visit our campaign page for a draft letter and instructions. http://www.atlanticaparty.ca/Know%20How%20They%20Vote.html 3. Visit the knowhowtheyvote web site. http://knowhowtheyvotens.com/ 4. Forward this to your friends and family. 5. Indicate that you would be prepared to come to a Know How They Vote event. 6. Volunteer. You can contact us at [email protected] Quote
[email protected] Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Posted November 15, 2009 Update: The Nova Scotia Legislature adjourned on November 5 with only 10 recorded votes out of 67 bill votes. Prior to this over the 59th and 60th General Assemblies out of 853 bill votes, 12 were recorded! Left to themselves MLAs will continue 'secret' voting. Support democracy in Nova Scotia. Support Know How They Vote. Quote
