平特五不中

Equality is a critical element of Canada鈥檚 representative democracy, yet it is one that our electoral system faces critical challenges in delivering.

In principle, Canadians are governed under notions of voter equality, 鈥渆ffective representation鈥� of diverse communities, and equal treatment of political candidates. However, the chronic under-representation of women, racial minorities and Aboriginals in our elected institutions, alleged voter suppression tactics, and electoral boundaries that dilute the votes of some Canadians suggest we still have far to go in making these ideas a practical reality.

At this workshop, we will hear from academics and practitioners about the sources of under-representation and unresponsiveness and propose solutions for greater equality and fairness. 聽
