We don't have any PC policies on Elections and democratic engagement.

Liberal

  • Implement proportional representation

    "Our province needs electoral reform to make sure that politicians are accountable to the people and our system reflects the society we live in. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will amend the Elections Act to implement a moderate proportional representation model that maintains strong regional representation. We will appoint an expert commission to determine the details of the plan and ensure that our electoral system maintains the protected representation of Acadians and African Nova Scotians." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

  • Require any governing party that calls an early election to pay a $250,000 fine

    "Nova Scotians expect their politicians to follow the law, including the fixed election date. A Nova Scotia Liberal government will strengthen our fixed election date legislation so that any governing party that breaks that law to call an early election must pay a $250,000 fine." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09
