FVC: Glad to see commitments from GPC and NDP to PR! With rising authoritarianism, our democracy is too important to leave to politicians elected with just 30–40% support. Ask, and vote accordingly.

Text titled “A Voting System That Works” outlines the Green Party’s electoral reform commitments. It states that the current system is unfair and millions of votes don’t count. Their proposed changes include adopting proportional representation, lowering the voting age to 16, restoring the per-vote subsidy to support smaller parties, and creating a Citizens' Assembly to guide reforms. Text titled “Putting an end to unfair elections” outlines the NDP’s plan to fix Canada’s voting system. It criticizes the current system as outdated and unfair, and blames the Liberals for broken promises. The NDP pledges to make the 2025 election the last under the current system and promises to establish an independent Citizens' Assembly to implement a Mixed-Member Proportional system in time for the next federal election.
