Electoral Reform

Proportional representation will create a more representative, diverse, and accountable government that reflects the will of Albertans. The Green Party is committed to making this change. We promise to work with other parties to build a stronger democracy.

The current majoritarian first-past-the-post electoral system encourages the ugly and divisive partisan politics we see today. This colonial system prevents politicians from working collaboratively in the Legislature, to the detriment of all Albertans.

The Green Party of Alberta will:

Reintroduce proportional representation in Alberta
- Ensure fairer elections by implementing proportional representation in Alberta, a system we used for 30 years prior that ensured the number of seats a party wins is proportional to the percentage of votes they receive
