The answers from Attorney General Sharma were promising!

Thanks to the work of @fairvote.ca we know that many BC NDP MLAs support electoral reform.

Together, we can keep up the pressure, and keep making progress.

National majority vote for president a step closer as Virginia signs bill into law via US news | The Guardian — Push for states to assign presidential electors to winner of popular vote gains momentum in bid to reach 270 threshold A national majority vote for president is one step closer to reality after Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger signed the National Popular Vote bill into law, joining an interstate compact with 17 other states and the District of Columbia. Under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, states would assign their presidential electors to the winner of the popular vote, regar

He’s not wrong across the board though. I’d never vote for him, but he’s right that Carney didn’t win a majority by being elected to it. And that’s all kinds of wrong in a democracy—even if floor crossing is allowed. #electoralreform

A cartogram map of the United States where each state is sized according to the number of electoral votes. The states are colored as green, yellow, or gray. Text for the map: "The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has now been enacted by 19 jurisdictions possessing 222 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate it. They are shown in green on the map below. Six additional states with 65 electoral votes (Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are especially promising places for obtaining the 48 electoral votes needed before 2028. They are yellow on the map."

Virginia becomes the 19th State to Enact National Popular Vote for President.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Hooray! Now let’s get #ProportionalRepresentation in Canada. It’s so telling that the first thing Orban did with his original super majority was to functionally undo PR in Hungary and gerrymander districts. Populists fear true democracy. Today an especially unpleasant one has been kicked […]

If you are in or close to Warrington this coming Monday (Easter Monday), I go head to head with the President of the Warrington Literary and Philosophical Society on the question of whether Britain needs electoral reform at 7.30pm. I will be making the argument that we do. #ElectoralReform

Legislative hearing on 'all‑party' primary draws mixed expert evidence and competing claims A special joint committee heard expert testimony and testimony from supporters and opponents of initiative petition 25‑12 H (House No. 5003), which would create all‑party statewide preliminary elections. Experts described mixed evidence on turnout and polarization; proponents said the measure would expand competition and participation, opponents warned it would raise costs and empower wealthy donors.

Massachusetts is considering a bold shift to all-party primaries, but experts warn of potential pitfalls that could reshape the electoral landscape.

Committee on Election Laws hears support for House Bill 5,086 to bar faithless presidential electors Witnesses told the Committee on Election Laws that House Bill 5,086 would prevent 'faithless' presidential electors, replace any elector who breaks a pledge, and help Massachusetts meet federal electoral deadlines; experts said the bill is compatible with the National Popular Vote compact with a clarifying amendment.

Massachusetts lawmakers are urged to pass House Bill 5,086, a vital measure to ensure presidential electors honor voters’ choices and protect against coercion.

Will Labour embrace electoral reform? The party has had a fraught relationship with it

"a pro-PR campaign is building within the Parliamentary Labour Party. Each MP involved is convinced that it won’t be long until something has to give."

When is the UK government going to change the voting system?
#electoralReform
#proportionalRepresentation

Just look what people feel about our democracy ...it isn't one. #ElectoralReform

It's another argument for #electoralreform. With #proportionalrepresentation, you do away with #tacticalvoting (especially if you adopt the Single Transferable Vote) because you then get more or less the same #govt each time, a continuity that encourages #politicians to take a longer view.

Very interesting poll!

Just goes to show how badly we need #ElectoralReform

Why is a ranked ballot "too confusing" for an Ontario election but the standard for every party leadership race? Does a membership fee make me smarter?

We’re stuck with a false majority that’s now retroactively exempting itself from FOI to hide the truth.

As well as the debate in parliament on Monday for by-elections, I spoke at the Lib Dem fringe event at our Conference on electoral reform. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it would be the most fundamental change to our politics, and help engage people with our democracy. #ElectoralReform

It is frustrating every single time that I see the popular votes versus seats won in Canadian elections.

Especially when you have a party like the Bloc Quebécois who run only in Québec, pull 1.2 million votes in that province, and receive 22 seats in the House, yet the NDP pulls 1.2 million […]
