The Special Committee on Democratic and Electoral Reform may make a stop in Cranbrook as they seek input from British Columbians.
The committee is seeking input on democratic engagement and electoral reform and has begun accepting requests to present at public meetings.
MLAs from all recognized parties in the B.C. legislature are included in the committee, which includes two parts to its mandate.
“The first part is to examine democratic engagement, voter participation, and models for electing Members of the Legislative Assembly, and the second part is to review the administration of the 2024 provincial general election,” said the B.C. government.
Several public meetings will go ahead through July to hear from residents across the province, which may include Cranbrook.
Those interested are asked to complete a request form by 3 p.m. (MST) on Thursday, May 29.
“In addition to holding public meetings, the Committee will be accepting written input on democratic engagement, voter participation, and electoral reform in mid-June,” said the B.C. government.
Public feedback sessions will be a mix of in-person and virtual meetings and may take place in the following communities:
- Cranbrook
- Dawson Creek
- Kelowna
- Prince George
- Richmond
- Surrey
- Vancouver
- Victoria
