Set up an independent citizens assembly to advice on how best to put in place a Mixed-Member Proportional Representation system in time for the next federal election
"We will fix Canada’s broken voting system and make every vote count. For too long, our electoral system has distorted results and denied millions of Canadians real representation. In 2025, New Democrats will make sure it’s the last election held under this outdated, unfair system—ten years after the Liberals promised change and failed to act.
Unlike the Liberals, we will actually deliver. We will establish an independent citizens assembly to advise on how best to put in place a Mixed-Member proportional system in time for the next federal election. This will ensure that the next Parliament truly reflects the choices of voters."
"We will change the voting age to allow 16 and 17-year olds to vote. Young people should have a stronger say in choosing their government and addressing the issues that affect them and their futures. Bringing more voices into politics will ensure that better decisions are made, and will ultimately result in a stronger democracy." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
