Two media production students from Ryerson University—Vincent Piette and Michal Heuston—collaborated with me on a high quality video explaining the Dual Member Proportional voting system. The students did a fantastic job. Enjoy the video!
Dual Member Proportional (DMP) is a voting system designed to meet Canada’s unique needs. For details, visit the DMP for Canada website:
