Voting system to be decided tomorrow

May 4, 2011 By Rob Powell

The referendum to determine the voting system that will be used in future general elections will take place tomorrow.

After listening to months of campaigning, voters will have to decide whether to opt for the Alternative Vote (AV) or to retain the existing First Past The Post (FPTP) system.

Local MP, Nick Raynsford, recently wrote an article for Greenwich.co.uk explaining why he supports AV. The case against AV was published on the website last week.

Borough-wide podcast, In the Meantime, hosted a debate on the issue in its most recent episode featuring Cllr Alex Wilson against AV and local politics student, Alex Brooks in favour of AV.

Polling stations will be open tomorrow between 7am and 10pm. Visit the council’s website for details of where your polling station is.
