Work with others in your riding to encourage your Liberal MP to vote yes!
The Liberals have broken their promise of electoral reform, but there is still another opportunity to turn this around! It could be our last chance to have a fair, proportional voting system for 2019.
On May 31, there will be a free vote in the House of Commons on whether to concur with the recommendations of the all-party committee on electoral reform (ERRE).

The Liberals have broken their promise of electoral reform, but there is still another opportunity to turn this around! It could be our last chance to have a fair, proportional voting system for 2019.

If the other parties vote yes - and we expect they will - we only need yes votes from 20 Liberal MPs for the motion to pass.
With the support of this community, Fair Vote Canada just commissioned local polling that includes 20 Liberal ridings, asking if:
a) constituents support proportional representation and
b) constituents want their MP to take action in the House to keep the promise for 2019.
The results are in, and it's time for your MP to stand up for constituents and for their election promise!
See the results here!
We need your help now to make sure your MP knows that constituents want him/her to put electoral reform back on the table.
We'd like to put together a team in each riding leading up to the May 31 vote. Can you join?
Teams will work on tasks such as putting out a local press release in ridings where we ran a poll (we'll give you a template!), making an appointment to see the MP, and generally spreading the word in the riding so as many people know about it this vote as possible.
When you sign up, we'll put you in touch with others in your riding and give you all the support we can.
