Looking ahead to 2026, one thing the government won’t be doing is appointing a citizens’ assembly to consider changing the voting system to one that’s more proportional. It was a recommendation made in late November by the Special Committee on Democratic and Electoral Reform.
“We had a commitment with the Green Party to establish a parliamentary committee on democracy,” Eby said. “I think there’s lots of issues for us to talk about about how to strengthen our democracy in the province, and the committee certainly did that.”
The Green Party is particularly interested in having another referendum on proportional representation, he said. If one were held, it would be the fourth in 20 years.
“I personally bear the scars of the last round and have absolutely no appetite to go back to voters one more time,” said Eby, adding he told the Green Party they can use the results from the committee to campaign in the next election and win enough support to move it forward. “I understand that that’s what they’re going to try to do.”
The next election is scheduled for 2028.

Looks like the bc ndp are being bad faith again. They act like they support fairness but then their actions say otherwise when they’re the government.
They do not want your vote to count.
That’s not accurate Mr premier, us greens do not want another doomed referendum. We want you to finally listen to the citizen’s assembly in 2004 and just pass the single transferable vote already.
