Fair Vote Canada
Fair Vote Canada (FVC) (French: Represéntation équitable au Canada) is a grassroots, nonprofit, multi-partisan citizens' movement for electoral reform in Canada. Headquartered in Kitchener, Ontario, it promotes the introduction of an element of proportional representation for elections at all levels of government and throughout civil society, instead of the first-past-the-post electoral system currently used at all levels of government in Canada.
Its aim is "to gain broad, multi-partisan support for an independent, citizen-driven process to allow Canadians to choose a fair voting system based on the principles that all voters are equal, and that every vote must count." Fair Vote Canada does not advocate for any particular form of proportional representation but has been involved in the design and discussion of different models from a made-in-Canada perspective.
It has worked to mobilize its supporters in support of proportional representation in the context of several initiatives coming out of the Canadian provinces and was one of the prime drivers of citizens' engagement federally as part of the public consultation process in 2016.
The organization is guided by a statement of purpose identifying five goals:
Fair Vote Canada was created in June 2001, following a founding conference in Ottawa. It is a membership organization headed by a national council of 15 members and has chapters and action teams across the country.
Over the years, it has:
Additionally, it has submitted briefs to numerous electoral reform committees and commissions.
In British Columbia and Quebec, there exist parallel organizations, Fair Voting BC and Mouvement Démocratie Nouvelle respectively, which are independent of Fair Vote Canada but share similar goals. Fair Vote Canada collaborates closely with these organizations.[citation needed]
