I do not think, either that it will take a year, or that we could retain the attention of the voters for such a long period of time, but I do think there has to be a solid public information and awareness campaign aimed at the voters, because there is likely to be some confusion at the beginning. This is completely new: in Canada, people have never before exercised their right to vote in this way. All of a sudden, there are two ballots. One is filled in differently from the other, and the result is calculated differently as well. All of that has to be explained to the voters, and it has to be clear so that there is no confusion when the votes are counted.
