BIG NEWS: A motion for a National Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform will be voted on in Parliament!
NDP MP Lisa Marie Barron has tabled a motion in the House of Commons for a National Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform.
This motion will come to a vote of all MPs in this Parliament!
This vote is the biggest chance for a breakthrough on electoral reform since 2017.
The news was announced today by three MPs together: Green Party MP Mike Morrice, NDP MP and Democratic Reform Critic Daniel Blaikie and NDP MP Lisa Marie Barron.
In the next six months, we’ll be pulling out all the stops and rolling out the biggest campaign that we can.

As a grassroots movement, our campaign will need the hope, passion, determination and hard work of all of us.
As we get more details about the timing of debates and the vote, and the next steps ahead in the campaign, we will share them with you.
