Appeal of ward boundary dissolution dismissed; at-large voting system improves voter parity and effective representation.
The appellant appealed the Township's passage of a by-law dissolving its electoral ward boundaries to create an at-large voting system.
The appellant argued the decision-making process lacked adequate public consultation and that an at-large system would diminish minority representation, particularly for the local Amish community.
The Tribunal found that the municipality's process was fair and reasonable, noting that the Municipal Act does not require specific public notice or consultation for such by-laws.
Applying the Carter factors, the Tribunal concluded that the by-law provides for more effective representation by improving voter parity across the municipality, and dismissed the appeal.
