Democracy Watch calls for Elections Act changes
OTTAWA - Today, Democracy Watch called on the leaders of federal
political parties to work together to make changes to the federal
Elections Act to respect voter rights, increase disturbingly low
voter turnout, ensure election honesty, fairness and ethics, and
ensure a representative Parliament is elected, in future federal
elections.

“It is incredible that 141 years after the creation of Canada
our election process is still unfair and undemocratic,” said Duff
Conacher, Coordinator of Democracy Watch. “All the federal parties
must make it a priority to correct the many flaws so that future
federal elections will actually be fair and democratic.”
