Premier Wade MacLauchlan has asked the province’s electoral boundaries commission to create a map showing how mixed member proportional representation would look in Prince Edward Island.
MacLauchlan sent a letter last month to the chairman of the PEI electoral boundaries commission, formally requesting a new independent map showing what the island would look like with 18 electoral districts instead of 27.
He says the map would be used to ensure a level of public education and awareness about the mixed member proportional system that Islanders voted for in the 2016 plebiscite.
