  • Citizen Engagement in Voting System Reform

    Citizen Engagement in Voting System Reform

    Renewing Canadian Democracy: Citizen Engagement in Voting System Reform Phase One: Lessons from Around the World Law Commission of Canada/Fair Vote Canada Joint Research Project March 2002 Prepared by Dennis Pilon York University This paper was prepared for the Law Commission of Canada under the title “Renewing Canadian Democracy: Citizen Engagement in Voting System Reform. Phase One: Lessons from Around the World." The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission. The accuracy of the information contained in the paper is the sole responsibility of the author. ii Summary The voting system as a particular component of democratic practice has come under increasing scrutiny in the last decade. Reform of existing voting systems in countries like New Zealand, Italy and Japan, along with the rebuilding of democratic institutions in Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America, has focused popular and academic attention on how different voting systems work and what effects they may have on democratic processes. Lessons from Around the World, prepared by Dennis Pilon, York University, reviews the relevant experience with voting system reform from around the world, both past and present, and the degree and nature of citizen engagement involved. The objectives of the paper are threefold: to demonstrate how voting system reforms have occurred historically and the specific political conditions that have facilitated them; highlight the role of citizen participation in the process, both its limits historically and potentially today; and, draw out some of the practical lessons from this experience to help determine how voting system reform might become and issue in Canada, and how citizens might best become involved.
