Elections and democratic engagement platforms

Here's what the 2024 BC election parties are promising.

We don't have any BC NDP policies on Elections and democratic engagement.

Ensure stronger enforcement and tougher penalties for protesters who incite violence or block access to critical infrastructure

"Respect the right of peaceful protest, while ensuring stronger enforcement and tougher penalties for those who incite violence or block access to critical infrastructure including highways, roadways, bridges and ports." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15
Have police prioritise public and emergency vehicle traffic over protest rights

"Ensure police are tasked with protecting the right of the public and emergency vehicles to get to where they’re going, not the handful of protesters standing in their way." — Common Sense Change for British Columbia, retrieved 2024-10-15

Implement a proportional representation system for the 2028 election

"Within the first 100 days of being elected, the BC Greens will introduce legislation to implement a Proportional Representation system for the 2028 election.

Hold a referendum on the proportional electoral system after the second election held under it

"A referendum will be held after the second proportional representation election to confirm whether the system aligns with voter interests." — BC Greens 2024 Platform, retrieved 2024-10-09
Lower the voting age to 16

"The BC Greens will lower the voting age to 16 and introduce civics and voting education in schools, empowering young people to participate actively in democracy." — BC Greens 2024 Platform, retrieved 2024-10-09
Establish a biennial Citizens' Assembly to ensure ongoing citizen participation in major policy discussions and decision-making

"We will establish a biennial Citizens’ Assembly, with topics selected by the Legislative Assembly. This Assembly will ensure ongoing citizen participation in major policy discussions and decision-making." — BC Greens 2024 Platform, retrieved 2024-10-09
