2016 Citizens' Assembly in British Columbia

The 2016 Citizens' Assembly in British Columbia was a democratic process where a randomly selected group of citizens came together to discuss and reform the province's electoral system. Their goal was to evaluate and suggest changes to enhance fairness and representation in elections. After extensive deliberation and consultation, the Assembly recommended shifting from the traditional first-past-the-post voting system to a proportional representation system. This method aims to better reflect the diverse political views of the population. The recommendations were ultimately put to a public referendum, allowing voters to decide the future of the electoral system in British Columbia.
