In Fall 2009, Fair Vote Canada launched new program to bring fair voting to civil society organizations and university and college campuses.

Thousands of NGOs, community groups, co-ops and campuses hold elections each year to elect their boards, councils, commissions and various positions. Most use winner-take-all voting systems when fair and proportional voting would be more appropriate.

In the near future, Wilfrid Laurier University will likely become the first Canadian university to use a fair and proportional voting system – STV – for student government elections.

Those interested in looking at fair voting systems for their own organizations, co-ops and/or campuses, are encouraged to contact us: office@fairvote.ca,
