Special committee on democratic and electoral reform calling for submissions

Show Notes

The BC Government wants to hear your input on how to improve our democracy.

The province’s special committee on democratic and electoral reform is accepting written submissions from members of the public with something to say about democratic engagement, voter participation and models for electing MLAs.

CHLY speaks with Nanaimo-Lantzville MLA and committee member George Anderson.

Two West Vancouver twins plan on speaking with the committee and calling on the voting age to be lowered to 16. They speak with Midcoast Morning about the issue.
