The Citizens' Assembly of British Columbia

The Citizens' Assembly of British Columbia is a group of randomly selected residents that examines important issues, such as electoral reform, to gather diverse public perspectives. It functions independently from government, aiming to ensure decisions reflect the views of ordinary citizens. The assembly researches, discusses, and debates options, then recommends solutions based on consensus. This process enhances democratic participation by involving regular people directly in policy discussions, promoting informed decision-making, and increasing public trust in government processes.
