Special B.C. committee to study electoral reform, review past election

A special committee called the Special Committee on Democratic and Electoral Reform has been formed by the B.C. Legislature to examine electoral reform and improve voter participation, with a report expected by November 26.
The committee will review the recent provincial election, including the discovery of a ballot box containing 861 uncounted votes, which affected the outcome in Surrey-Guildford.
Government House Leader Mike Farnworth stated, 'I'm not planning and I don't think we are planning on a referendum' regarding electoral reform.
B.C. Green MLA Rob Botterell noted that moving towards proportional representation is important for building trust in government, aiming to improve democratic engagement.
