Introduction Letter - Questionnaire for MLA Candidates
Dear MLA candidate,
Congratulations on your candidacy in the upcoming election of MLAs in British Columbia. Please allow me to introduce SmartVoteBC2024.
SmartVoteBC2024 is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization, whose aim is to assist British Columbians to become aware of the risks and benefits of legislation as it pertains to their constitutional rights and freedoms, property, families, and persons. We support the idea that all public officeholders are both servants of the public and stewards of public resources and, in that role, they should govern themselves by the widely accepted Nolan Principles of Public Life.
SmartVoteBC2024 is organizing election-readiness Town Halls across the province beginning in September. These Town Halls are recorded and also live-streamed to help voters get ready for the Oct 19 election.
To give voters a clearer picture of where you stand on important issues, we have created a Questionnaire for Candidates, which is attached. This questionnaire is being distributed to all parties and independents and will help us to create political scorecards. These scorecards will be influenced by the response to this questionnaire, past voting history of MLAs, and verified public statements. Your scorecard can be viewed by the public at www.politicalscorecards.ca .
We also ask that you consider signing the attached Politician’s Pledge. This will also play a part in the scorecard evaluations.
With the Questionnaire and the Pledge, incumbent MLA candidates will have the opportunity to change their historically based scorecards, while new candidates can have their voices heard for the first time. This is an opportunity for you to get your viewpoints in front of British Columbian voters and tell them how you envision addressing the critical issues we are facing in our province.
If you believe that elected representatives should lead with integrity and govern with transparency and accountability, then please complete the Questionnaire and sign the Pledge to allow BC voters the opportunity to know what you think. SmartVoteBC2024 will strive to get your message out to constituents in your riding.
We encourage you, as a candidate, to help the public cast their votes with confidence. Please answer and return the Pledge and Questionnaire before Oct 1 to SmartVoteBC2024, P.O. Box 3940, Smithers, BC V0J 2N0 or complete both online at www.politicalscorecards.ca (click Politicians Home Page tab). For further information, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
R.S. Murray,
