I support the district electoral system that we have in the City of Kingston now. A district electoral system is better because: - District councillors are more accessible to voters, their neighbours - District councillors are responsible for a specific area which means that all parts of the city have representation - District councillors tend to represent more diverse views and can reflect the needs of the whole city and the diversity of the city's population - District councillors can win an election by meeting voters at their doors and in their neighbourhoods even if they do not have access to a lot of money for a publicity campaign. I want a district councillor to continue to represent me and my neighbourhood on City Council.

I was just staring at the screen and honestly it feels like the whole city is finally waking up to how important our local representation is. It is wild to think about how many of you are just as tired of these proposed changes as I am because it really shows we are not alone in wanting to keep our direct connection to council.

Keep the system as is. Kingston doesnt need more politicians who only care about the downtown core while ignoring the rest of us

Please keep our local representation. We need people who understand the specific needs of our neighborhood not just city-wide politics

I like knowing who to call when there are issues on my block. Taking that away makes the council feel so distant and out of touch

The current setup works fine. Stop trying to make everything one big mess.
