DescriptionCHARLOTTETOWN - People on Prince Edward Island will be asked to vote this fall on whether they want to try a new kind of voting, details of which were announced on Friday.

Under the plan, 10 of the province's 27 seats in the legislature would be filled from party lists on the basis of the popular vote each party received.

The other 17 would be filled the old fashioned way – victory would go to the candidate getting the most votes in a given district. The number of districts would shrink to 17 from 27.
