"In big cities, under the at-large system, city council candidates need considerable resources to reach voters during elections. If we want to strengthen local democracy in our province, we need to move to a system that levels the playing field at election time so that voters can make informed decisions on who they cast their ballot for."

"As someone who has worked to abolish the at-large voting system for over 40 years, I am convinced that our legal case is our best opportunity to secure a fairer, more representative way to select local governments in B.C."

"As someone who has fought for equity and justice at the local and provincial level for most of my life, I fully support this push for more diversity in city halls right across B.C."

"British Columbia's at-large voting system would be a joke if it weren't so tragic. It's confusing, ridiculously tedious and unfair. It needs to be replaced."

"At-large elections silence huge parts of our city and need to be replaced with a more democratic electoral system."

"For my community, the evidence is clear. The at-large system discriminates against South Asian voters and candidates -- it's time for B.C. to move to a new way of electing councillors that restores fairness to local elections."

"It’s time to replace the U.S.-based at-large voting system to reduce inequities and improve local democracy."

"We need to replace B.C.'s at-large voting system with a more democratic way of electing officials to local city councils that better ensures neighbourhoods get the representation they need and deserve. I opposed the at-large system throughout my time as a Vancouver city councillor and mayor, and it's time for it to go."

"For far too long we have been stuck with an outdated voting system that makes it impossible for anyone to get elected unless they are backed by those with deep pockets. It's not fair."

"Having managed three election campaigns in the City of Vancouver between 2002 and 2022, I saw time and time again how great community leaders who lacked a major old-line party endorsement were shut out by the at-large system. That's got to end."

"Everyone in Surrey knows city council does not reflect who we really are. We need to change that."

"Provincial goverments know at-large elections are unfair but refuse make change. Going to court is our best chance for reform."

"The at-large system doesn't work for big cities like Vancouver and Surrey. A different system, such as a ward system, means fairer representation, stronger accountability, and communities that feel truly heard."
