<div>The results from BC's referendum were announced
this afternoon. Sadly, the outcome is not what we
were hoping for; below is a link to a CBC report on
the results. Changing our electoral system is long
& vital process. FVC will continue to work
toward instituting a more fair and equitable
electoral system which ensures that every vote cast
influences the election results.</div>
