Purpose and Societal Status

Fair Voting BC is a non-partisan, registered, non-profit society which works for fair voting systems for all elections held in BC, whether for federal, provincial, or municipal legislatures or councils or for independent organizations such as societies, unions, coops or student councils.

We support improvements in operating practices of elected bodies aimed at making government more representative, inclusive, transparent and accountable;  such improvements could relate to campaign financing and disclosure rules, committee structures, or legislative conventions, amongst others.

We also advocate increased opportunities for citizens and NGOs to be meaningfully engaged in policy development processes and favour improvements to BC’s initiative process.

In the 2009 referendum campaign, FVBC served as the official proponent of the BC’s Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform’s  recommendation that we adopt the Single Transferable Vote (BC-STV).
