Background:

Special Committee on the Yukon Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform

The Special Committee on the Yukon Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform was established on April 25, 2023 (Motion No. 711). Its job is to recommend the terms of reference for a Yukon Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform.  The committee’s report is due by October 31, 2023.

This committee followed two years of expert testimony and public consultations by the Yukon Special Committee on Electoral Reform. Many experts and citizens recommended a Citizens’ Assembly, and a survey by Statistics Yukon showed strong public support for the creation of a Yukon Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform.
