UVic experts on BC election
UVic experts are available to media for comment on the BC election on topics ranging from campaign strategies to COVID-19 including economic recovery plans, public sentiment and PR challenges.
UVSS and UVicVotes
The Ring
This election, what are you voting for? The 2015 federal election is in full swing, and few can miss the blitz of campaign signs, ads, tweets, posts, debates and sound bites. On campuses across the country, however, an election presents some distinct challenges—and opportunities.
Municipal voting in the SUB
The Ring
Voting in this year's municipal election just got a bit easier. Thanks to a multi-year campaign by the UVic Students’ Society, advance polls for Saanich, Oak Bay and Victoria are coming to UVic. Students, faculty, staff and other eligible voters can cast ballots on Thursday, Nov. 6 from noon to 4:00 p.m. in the SUB Michele Pujol Room. The UVSS is also encouraging informed voting by hosting an all-candidates fair on Wednesday, Oct. 29 (11a.m. to 3p.m., Michele Pujol Room) and a mayoral debate on Oct. 30 (2pm, at Vertigo in the SUB).
King to study internet voting
The Ring
Dr. Valerie King (computer science) has been named to a five-member expert panel convened to study what Internet voting could mean for BC. King conducts research in randomized algorithms, data structures and distributed computing. She and four others on the independent panel will examine the pros and cons of the potential implementation of Internet-based voting for provincial or local government elections. Existing laws do not permit Internet voting at either the municipal or provincial level. Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer announced the panel Sept. 10. It includes Archer as chairman, King, UBC associate professor Konstantin Beznosov, East Kootenay Regional District administrator Lee-Anne Crane, and former B.C. auditor general George Morfitt.
