Canada (Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform)

The Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform in Canada was a group of randomly selected citizens tasked with studying and recommending changes to the country’s voting system. Its goal was to explore fairer and more representative ways for Canadians to elect their government. After thorough discussion and analysis, the assembly proposed alternative voting methods, such as ranked-choice voting. Their work aimed to improve how votes translate into political representation, ensuring that election outcomes better reflect voters’ preferences. The initiative exemplified public engagement in democratic reform, emphasizing transparency and citizen participation in shaping electoral policies.
