Surprised nobody posted about this. NDP commits to a mail-in referendum on electoral reform by next November. Simple majority will be needed to pass:

Under legislation introduced Wednesday, the referendum would be held next fall in a mail-in ballot. The proposal would need the support of 50 per cent, plus one, of those who vote in order to be successful....
