520    "During the 2015 federal election, the Liberal Party 
       pledged that, if elected, they would end the "first past 
       the post" electoral system, where whichever candidate 
       receives the most votes wins a riding even if they have 
       not received a majority of all votes cast. After the 
       Liberals assumed power, Minister of Democratic 
       Institutions Maryam Monsef followed up on their campaign 
       promise by announcing a parliamentary committee to 
       evaluate alternative electoral systems and to report their
       findings before the end of 2016. Challenging the idea that
       first past the post is obsolete, Should We Change How We 
       Vote? urges Canadians to make sure they understand their 
       electoral system before making drastic changes to it. The 
       contributors to this volume assert that there is perhaps 
       no institution more misunderstood and misrepresented than 
       the Canadian electoral system - it is praised by some for 
       ensuring broad regional representation in Ottawa, but 
       criticized by others for allowing political parties with 
       less than half the popular vote to assume more than half 
       the seats in Parliament. They consider not only how the 
       system works, but also its flaws and its advantages, and 
       whether or not electoral reform is legitimate without a 
       referendum. An essential guide to a crucial debate about 
       the country's future, Should We Change How We Vote? asks 
       if there are alternative reforms that would be easier to 
       implement than a complete overhaul of the electoral 
       system."--|cProvided by publisher.
