Should we change the way we elect our legislative representatives?

It's a question that Ontarians will face when they head to the polls on Oct. 10th, with the inclusion of a referendum question on the ballot. Stick with the traditional electoral system, known as first-past-the-post? Or choose an alternative method such as mixed-member-proportional (MMP), where each party also receives a number of seats based on the percentage of overall votes it earns?

It's a debate that other provinces have had before — B.C. and P.E.I. held referendums on proportional representation in 2005. And it's an issue that many reform-minded federal politicians have championed as well.
